Fanny Pack DIY

[@Mikeelondono]

first time i tried this it didnt line up correctly with the cut outs. i still managed to sew it all together but it was super messy. tried it again knowing i need to leave space for seem allowance and wow it actually worked out nicely. i would recommend a liner and a hidden pocket in the main opening. ill try that next time. overall it wasnt too bad following the instructions. just go slow and make sure all your pieces align

[@JohnnyUrbanWoodsmen]

Yeah they do that, they put their seam allowance at 1/4", where most sewers do 1/2" including me, thats how I was taught; sew in 1/2" seam allowance and then trim or bind edges, so what I would do is add a 1/4" all around the patterns then sew a 1/2 allowance all around.

[@bethwagar5686]

yes this definitely leaves room for improvement. Lots of slack and wrinkles and pleats to be had. ugh!!! My 1st one was a total mess and very flimsy even though i used canvas. Just dont care for it. Easy enough to execute though.

[@My-sg9ji]

Great style, I just made this fanny pack and it turned out very nice! Thanks for the pattern!

[@jeffsgyrl11]

I bought the pattern a while ago and finally got around to making the bag this weekend. Love the finished product but I realize now that this video was more promotional than instructional. Super frustrating because the tutorial was not clear, the pattern did not include dimensions (I cut the material with my cricut), and the pattern was missing a piece that wasn’t even noticed until I was already sewing. I purchased two more patterns and hope they’re better! Definitely not recommended for a newbie.

[@kj3d812]

@jeffsgyrl11 that seems to be the norm these days with patterns. The patternmaker leaves out steps, is unclear, complicated, or all of the above, making for a very frustrating experience for the sewist. Thank you for your comment -- I'll pass on this one.

[@samsadity]

Hey what are the measurement for the webbing? How long should I cut the webbing before I making the strap panel.

[@claremcmahon4555]

Anyone know how long the webbing should be? There’s some info missing and my pattern pieces are not the same size at all 😢 gutted

[@bethwagar5686]

all he says is about 2 yards. But how long each strap is unknown. 2 yards is quite a bit of webbing. too much in my opinion.

[@MrJed_s]

How does the needle not break when you sew over the zipper? And what's your process to create the patterns (do you start on the computer, sketch something onto paper, create prototypes from thinner fabric)? Great quality results and video!

[@annadenk1657]

I really wonder about your First question, too 🤔

[@db19812009]

Looks like it is nylon zipper. They are ok to sew over. If I was metal would break the needle.

[@HarimanAbdRahman]

i'd say if u're using metal zipper, stop before the zipper, manually rotate the sewing machine motor slowly and continue to operate normally after u had passed the zipper.

[@CalmCollectiveATL]

I cringed when I saw him sew over the zipper. There’s no way I’m trying that.

[@bethwagar5686]

@@CalmCollectiveATL nylon zippers can be sewn over with ease. the teeth on his zipper are larger than normal. I use #5 zipper tape and i never have a problem. Now, metal zippers are a no no to sew over. You'll break your needle every single time unless you hand crank the wheel when you come to it. I dont like metal zips at all.

[@Morri91]

Thanks man. I made two of them with black foam. Skin look alike. Looks amazing.

[@RedHillian]

Made a couple of these now - love them! If you ever remake this video though (or for the next similar pattern), could you use a fabric that has a more obvious "right" & "wrong" side, so it's easier to work out what's going where? Thanks!

[@velociraptorfeathers]

Hello! I just bought this pattern but it didn't occur to me until watching this video that the inside is unlined. Do you have any sort of tutorial for making a lining?

[@benji_thetree]

I’m currently working through how to add a lining myself. I think you would cut an additional piece of lining fabric for each piece except the front zipper panel and maybe a few others. I would sew the lining on at the same time as everything else. When you line up your fabric sandwich on the bottom have: interior lining fabric right side down (facing the table), then outer fabric right side up, then zipper right side facing down. Then just follow his video and sew across the zipper and fold only the outer fabric to top stitch. Hope this helps

[@bethwagar5686]

@@benji_thetree Good idea. Only thing to add is maybe to go ahead and baste your lining to your outer panels and then proceed. Doing binding as usual

[@Cecibug1]

What are the measurements for the webbing?

[@feliciahernandez1876]

How long are the webbing straps supposed to be when you sew them to the strap panel pieces?

[@aliciasanchez697]

No tengo para descargar podrias pasar las medidas del molde por favor gracias! Alicia de Paraguay te saludo buenisimo tu trabajo me encantaria poder realizarlo

[@luisilla1231]

El patrón, no te dice márgenes de costura, no te aclara la medida de la correa y cuánto cortar para cada lado, deberías hacerlo con forro...

[@butubuta]

Thank you very much. What kind of fabric did you use?

[@shelbyhiromi]

looks like he used a yellow canvas. Stiffer/heavier weight materials would work best so that the bag is sturdy and can hold its shape well. You could also use faux leather if you're really going for that traditional fanny pack look.

[@ProperFitClothing]

Yes I used canvas :) it is very easy to work with and comes out super quality

[@Lau-x3r3l]

Thank you this is awesome.

[@vdawg27]

Is the bag big enough to hold a hard cover book? Or at least a paperback?

[@RissaMartin-u5e]

I'd say no, maybe a harlequin romance, one of those small white ones.... I just made it.

[@cutpapersissors]

What is the seam allowance

[@JohnnyUrbanWoodsmen]

I believe its 1/4", thats what they uses in most of their bag videos.

[@minasewel]

What is the size of the bias tape maker ure using on the sewing machine? Thanks!

[@kellirojo4242]

[@josephmartinez7274]

Is the bypass tape necessary or can it be skipped?

[@truculentshambles]

Sewing this right now out of holographic vinyl and adding lining!

[@1969rosey]

Anyone know what the seam allowance is?

[@JohnnyUrbanWoodsmen]

I believe its 1/4"; thats what they've used on their other videos.

[@bethwagar5686]

It's not real clear so I used 1/4". then top stitched at 1/8"

[@JohnnyUrbanWoodsmen]

@@bethwagar5686 Yeah sounds like a good start.

[@ALump-hq2dd]

It did not look like he added seam allowance before he cut. Do we add it all the way around?

[@JohnnyUrbanWoodsmen]

@@ALump-hq2dd According to other videos Ive watched he says the seam allowance is 1/4". Yes you if you are going to add a seam allowance you add it all around. Now I made one its pretty big and I sewed it with a 3/8" S.A with out adaptations and it came out pretty good, some hiccups, but I think its because I used a #8 zipper instead of a #5 like in the video, also make sure you print it out at 100% to insure proper size.

[@MattGraveyTrain]

Hey, really liking this project so far! I do have a question / possible note in case the pattern needs adjusting... At the 4 minute mark when sewing the side zipper panel to the side bottom panel, it looks like your side panel is the same width as the assembled zipper panels + zipper. My side panel (as cut from the pattern) is quite a bit more narrow, so once we account for the width of the zipper being added, my edges don't match up. If it was just a little it wouldn't matter, but it's about 3/8th of an inch too short on either side when compared to the zipper panels/zipper assembly, and a later step has us sew that edge at 1/4 inch, so it's not going to catch all the layers. I'm using the same Singer HD and presser foot featured in this video, and the same size zippers. I've sewn the zippers as you have, close to the edge of the zipper tape. As far as I can tell I've done everything exactly the same, but it looks like I'll have to cut a new slightly wider side panel that more closely matches the width of the combined side zipper panels and zipper. Am I missing something here? Maybe I've made a mistake, but it seems like this side bottom panel piece might just be too small?

[@jared3mac]

Just making this now and I 100% agree with you. I've just sewn in my zipper and the middle an back panels are definitely too small. I have enough extra fabric (and time) to fix it, so I'm cutting new panels that are wider by the width of the zipper. There are a few things like that in this video/pattern. For example the bottom panel that creates the width of the bag is obviously two pieces in the video but the pattern has just one piece there. Those pieces seem a little small, and I'm actually worried it won't quite be long enough... I may cut a longer piece and then shorten it once I know if fits.

[@shannonlee4707]

Hmm I’m having this issue as well but don’t have enough fabric to recut. Bummer

[@RissaMartin-u5e]

I had same issue, I just trimmed off the 3/8", you shouldn't notice that much missing from the width of the bag. So Essentially just trim off whatever is extra so they are the same width before you attach to side panels.

[@eliferen2465]

which foot did you use ?

[@LalaDeil]

I want to know the same :(

[@joelmason8317]

can you serge instead of bias tape?

[@Cecibug1]

Did you end up trying this? I'm curious

[@JohnnyUrbanWoodsmen]

yes u can. serging should affect the final product, just as long you dont shrink the bag.

[@bethwagar5686]

I'm sure you could serge all edges except for the zipper ends that attach to the gusset. I would never take that through my serger. Also, keep the blades off so that your not cutting any fabric off while doing so. Or serge all edges before putting together. good luck

[@bethwagar5686]

Also, in addition to this pattern, you should include more detailed instructions on the lengths of the straps. Just saying about 2 yards doesnt cut it.

Hi, I've just found your channel and It's amazing. I came from the airsoft world, where we make some customs caps, pants, shirts,... pretending to be more tactical as posible, and sometimes for freaky purposes XD I propose you to make some camouflage/tactical projects? A plate carrier for example. I'm concerned how it's posible to DIY that type of gear pieces. I love your Gucci face mask, and chest bag... Someday I'm gonna try to do it, and some pouches too. Thanks!

[@bethwagar5686]

followed the video. gusset doesnt exactly fit the outer layers very well. Im pretty sure its not me thats causing all the pleats and wrinkles. I'm an experienced bag maker. Your binding looks terrible and this could use a lining to make it look better. Just my opinion.

hmmm i remember the movie "beast master" starring Arnold SWartnegger and John amos

Beast Master is not with Arnold, the main actor who plays Dar is Marc Singer, You are confusing Conan the Barbarian and the Destroyer which is played by Arnold.

[@oysterstu4822]

What a waste of time and money. The pattern that’s linked and that I bought is NOT this pattern. There’s no written instruction on how to construct this piece and the pieces in the file are for a different bag entirely. I’m so annoyed dude

[@RissaMartin-u5e]

The pattern works, it's just doesn't specify size instructions as I made it tonight. Cut side bottom panel on the fold Cut side panel on the fold x2. That should resolve the issue.

[@JohnnyUrbanWoodsmen]

The pattern is made to fit on 8-1/2 x 11 printer paper, for ease of printing, you have to cut the pattern out and either cut fabric on the fold or tape the pattern pieces together matching letters, then trace them out on the fabric, for instruction watch this video, the pattern says and gives the link.

[@ALump-hq2dd]

Hello. I taped letters together. Do I still have to cut on fold?

[@ALump-hq2dd]

Also are we adding seam allowance? Thank you.

[@JohnnyUrbanWoodsmen]

@@ALump-hq2dd Hey no, if you taped the letters then you dont have to cut on the folds, thats only if you dont tape them together, and the pattern already comes with a 1/4" seam allowance
