Rainbow Love Fanny Pack

In case you were wondering, fanny packs are somehow making a comeback...and some are actually pretty stylish.  This one is total retro throwback style tho, but with fun fabric!
The 'cool' way to wear these are across the chest/back.  Or so I've been told...

Main compartment opens wide!
I wasn't a fan of this pattern and had to heavily modify it so I won't share which one I used. It also had NO written instructions, only a video and pattern pieces, which I'm not a fan of videos...
laying down, it actually isn't as flat as the pictures make it look, has a nice 3-d shape
Dr. Teeth's band fit perfectly in the front pocket!
The Bum Bag (which I think makes it sound cooler) has 2 pockets, a main roomy one and a smaller front one.  The strap is a fun neon rainbow nylon webbing I found on ebay, and since I hate having tails hanging, I used the adjuster to keep everything tidy.  As long as I have a max/min waist measurement, I can make the strap fit those guidelines!
Black plastic connector from maybe Hobby Lobby, but the rainbow slider is from WS&C!

The fabric is an awesome Love is Love from Backstitch and has only been offered in retail, so it's a rarer one! I do have a bit more left so I can take orders for more items using it!

Peek into the main pocket

Inside is a licensed Muppets print from my stash. The colors were a great coordinate and we featured Dr. Bunsen and Beeker, the best characters!
I still want to be a Muppet when I grow up.
The rainbow zipper tape is some I've had in my stash for a while now, but the awesome rainbow mouse head and lightning bolt came from Wizardry, Stitchery, and crafts!  
Every pictures I took of the hardware ended up blurry for some reason...but trust me, it's awesome!

There were so many great characters on this print, it was hard to pick which ones to highlight!

  1. I love your new fanny pack. The placement of your character prints look great.

    1. Thanks! I try to consider the placement but it's a little harder on new patterns since I don't have a good feel for what pieces will end up being the prominent ones so it's a little bit of planning and a lot of luck!
