The Orchid Waist/Sling Bag - PDF Sewing Pattern

Introducing the Orchid Waist Bag! This is a great smaller sized bag that replaces the conventional not-so-stylish "fanny packs" but can also be worn on the back like a sling. It has a front exterior pocket that closes with a flap. The flap also has a built in zipper pocket on the front! On the inside, there are 2 slip pockets. The strap is adjustable and clips on at one end to quickly attach it around your waist or back. The bag has a main zippered closure.

With the right choice of fabrics, this bag could be unisex!
