Excellent tutorial :)

[@yesimadeitmyself]

This is awesome! Exactly what I was looking for 👍😍

[@marleee.2174]

this is an absolutely beautiful bag! I wish I had a sewing machine and the skills to do this!

[@iampaperprincess]

Seems a little fussy to attach the ends, but as you said, we can use whatever method we want. Thanks for the tutorial! 😊

[@huisuk]

Thanks. I'm getting better at it bindings.

Great tutorial Annie. I just finished 2 or the larger single zipper ditty bags which are great for carrying toiletries in while travelling. I am hooked on bag making - especially bright beautiful ones. Cheers from New Zealand! 😊

I love the patterns “by Annie”. I wish there was one for fanny packs as my grandkids want them to keep their hand sanitizers and spare masks in when at school. Any plans for a new pattern?

[@PatternsByAnnie]

That's a great idea :) We frequently consider making a fanny pack pattern. What features or design would you want?

[@francinemasse-bannon9750]

Different sizes. One for kids and one for adults. Maybe a window slot instead for a name tag. Possibly a small zipper pocket on the outside. On the adult one for debit or charge cards.

[@francinemasse-bannon9750]

Inside not instead. 😂

[@PatternsByAnnie]

@@francinemasse-bannon9750 This is great to hear. I'll pass this info along to our pattern development team. Thank you!

That acrylic thing you are using to round the edges - I *must* have that! LOL. Where did you get that? TIA
