The Ferris Fanny Pack bag is a fully lined functional fanny pack that features a zipper pocket, zipper bag closure, and an adjustable webbing strap. The bag can be worn in so many ways - either as a fanny pack, or a crossbody bag. The pattern offers three sizes, however we will be making the large size in class that measures 19" wide and 9" high.

During this series, students will start off with a 2-hour cutting session to get all their fabric cut out to size and ready for construction. Classes 2 and 3 will consist of bag construction, leaving the fourth and final class for construction completion. 

This 4-week class is suitable for intermediate students that have prior bag making experience and/or experience in sewing with zippers.  Students should be able to confidently thread and operate a sewing machine independently.
