Let’s start.

Overlock one 30 cm side of the 2 smaller rectangles

Hoop the cut away stabilizer.

Embroider the first step: the outline for the bag and the position of the zipper.

In the zipper line, you can find 2 signs that help you position the zipper. Take care to keep the metal parts of the zipper within these lines.

Position the zipper with the zipper puller on the right side.

The zipper is stitched in 2 lines (starts right). It helps you to move the puller and helps you prevent curved lines.

Put the smallest part on the zipper, right side down and pin it in the way you see in this picture:

Stitch the next line, it fixes the fabric to the zipper.

Fold the rectangle over (don’t forget to take away the pins). Pin it to the stabilizer (away from the outline).

Repeat this step for the next line. Temporary adhesive spray can be useful.

The next embroidery line is a topstitching on both sides of the zipper.

Now you will embroider a complete outline, it prevents the fabric from curling over.

Next is the chinese sign, with double outline.

The fanny pack’s outline follows the shape of the chinese sign.

Add the back:

Open the zipper for partially, be sure to leave some cm open at the end (see picture).

Pin both short tape parts at both sides of the zipper and attach with the next embroidery step.

Don’t forget to open the zipper.

Lay the larger patch (right side down) on the project. Be sure to cover the outline of the fanny pack entirely. Pin it outside the outline.

Sew the next step, it is the seamline for the pack.

Take your project out of the hope and remove the stabilizer, especially around the zipper.

Cut fabric and stabilizer away around the outline of the fanny pack.

Remove the stabilizer as much as you can.

Cut in the seam allowance in the corners.
