Pattern Description: Belly Bags are lined, have front zipper opening and purchased webbing for straps. View B has contrast top, band and gusset.
Were the instructions easy to follow?I got confused in a few spots. I think this is my inexperience sewing bags and not a flaw in the pattern.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? It is a cute fanny pack pattern that is large enough for a phone and a few small items.
Fabric Used: Navy Twill for the outside and red quilting cotton for the lining.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:This is a practice piece so I did not make any design changes. I didn't have any fusible fleece, so I used wonder under to attach fleece for the interfacing.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?Probably not but I do recommend to others as an easy to sew pattern. I recommend to confident beginners and above.
Conclusion: I made this for my MIL to wear around the house. Purse straps hurt her shoulders so we are trying this out to see if it helps.
