Sew your own stylish fanny pack with this free pattern and tutorial from Mindy Makes. This square-shaped fanny pack is perfect for carrying your essentials without adding bulk. The front and top zipper design keeps everything secure, and the adjustable belt with a buckle lets you wear it as a hip bag or crossbody bag – super versatile! Measuring about 5 x 8 inches with a 2.5″ side width, this compact yet roomy bag is perfect for your phone, wallet, keys, and more. You’ll need 1/2 yard of exterior fabric, 1/2 yard of lining fabric, and fusible interfacing or fleece if using lighter fabrics like cotton. For more structure, go with canvas or vinyl. With clear step-by-step instructions, this is a great project for confident beginners. Make one for yourself or as a thoughtful handmade gift!
