Fanny Sack

 Creation of the “fanny sack”

• Cut the pants across at the crotch. The dotted line shows where to cut and sew.

• Flip the pants inside out and sew them on the inside.

• Flip them back the right way; you have a bag. 

Lining (optional)

• Fold the lining fabric in half.

• Trace the bag and cut a few millimeters inside the line.

• Sew the lining front to front (inside out) so the seam isn’t visible once the bag is finished. Leave a small area unstitched to flip it right-side-out, then sew it shut after flipping it.

• Hand-stitch the lining to the bottom of the waistband of the pants, on the inside of the bag.  

• Add handles or a shoulder strap, or both! For the models here, the handles were made with decorated ribbon, and the shoulder strap with the leg of the pants.
