    The Kelly Waist Bag is a clean and simple design for those who want the ease of a “fanny pack,”
    but in a modern aesthetic. With a belt guide built into place, you can use your own belt, make
    one, or leave it off entirely for a beautiful timeless clutch.

    Since there is no interfacing or a lining, the Kelly is a quick project that will still build your
    bag-making skills. This waist bag utilizes alternative substrates which tend to be thicker and more
    resistant than traditional quilting cotton and even canvas fabrics. The Kelly Waist Bag will help
    you learn how to sew leather, vinyl, and cork with plenty of room left for creativity. I’m excited to
    see what you do!

    5. On the opposite end of the Belt, mark
    lines at 1”, 2” and then at 3” from the short
    side. (The 2” line matched up to the Button
    Stud should equal to your waist measure-
    ment.) Punch 4mm holes at the center
    of each line. With scissors or a craft knife,
    make a 1/4” cut next to each hole running
    lengthwise toward the Button Stud. Set
    aside.

    the Pocket Front on top with RS facing up,
    matching bottom corners. Sew around the

    ing creating parallel rows of stitches.

    entire top edge.

    11. Optional: Top-stitch 1/8” along the

    14. Ease the rest of the Gusset around the


    Front Panel aligning the edges. (If the
    substrate is stiff, cut 1/8” notches into the
    gusset around the curves.) Use clips to
    secure into place. Sew Gusset to Front Panel
    as shown.

    TIP: Use an awl or stiletto tool to help


    navigate the gusset smoothly under sewing
    needle.

    15. Repeat steps 13-14 with the Back Panel


    and opposite side of Gusset.

    16. Trim seam allowance to 1/8” around


    curves. Turn the bag right side out. Push out
    corners and finger press seams.

    17. Following the pattern markings, punch
    a 4 mm hole in the Flap. With scissors or a
    craft knife, make a 1/4” cut below the hole
    toward the Slip Pocket.

    Check and make sure this hole matches


    with the Button Stud placement. Raw edge
    substrates have varying thicknesses and can
    effect how far the flap will bend down.

    18. Following the pattern markings, punch


    a 2 mm hole in the Front Panel. Insert the
    remaining Button Stud following step #4.

    Slip the Belt through the Belt Guide and you


    are ready to rock the waist bag!
