This was such an excellent video! I followed it step by step and now I have 3 cute fanny packs and ZERO frustrations!! This was so very helpful!! Thank you so much!!!
Sara, thank you so much for putting together such a detailed tutorial. It was so, so helpful (and confidence boosting!) for this new sewist. I'm finishing my first fennel pack this morning and it's been so fun. I'm so happy to see you have non-plastic buckles in your shop and I'll be ordering a bunch soon for future fennels!
👏 👏👏 Yay congrats on your first fennel pack! Glad to hear you found my video helpful on that!! Haha I love my buckles too! It adds quality look on my fanny pack!😆
If I had watched this before buying the pattern and supplies, I'd have thought twice about. Since I already have everything, I HAVE to master this bag!
This a fantastic tutorial, thank you! So detailed and clear. I bought the Fennel Fanny Pack pattern as I thought it would be a nice little project to ease me back into sewing as I've not done any for quite a while. Whelp. I think this is going to go in my 'sewing projects to do....one day' file! Sooo fiddly.
Absolutely! I'm glad you liked the tutorial. The Fennel Fanny Pack is a perfect project to ease back into sewing. Take it step by step, revisit the tutorial as needed, and don't rush. Your 'one day' will come sooner than you think. Happy sewing!
This tutorial was mesmerizing! I used to wear a fanny pak years ago, till they were way out of style. I have renewed interest in using one again! Thank you for your incredible instruction 🙏
Wow, this is a lot of work and if I were to do this tutorial (which I might I love fanny packs) I'd have to really slow down the video. But you did do well in edits and I liked your little secret tips at the top. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, Lin! Making this fanny bag with drop-in lining method takes time and effort honestly, but I think it's worthy!😊 I'm glad you liked my tips!
I finally found this video! I found your finished product in pinterest and im inlove with this fanny pack! Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial 🤎🤍
I just completed a "mock-up" of this bag with some scrap fabric ... and to my surprise it came out looking great. your video is amazing and so easy to follow. i can't wait to make my next one with special fabric i picked out especially for this pattern. thank you!!!!!!!
This is an amazing tutorial!! I've been trying to figure out how a drop-in lining would work with this particular bag, but couldn't find tutorials anywhere, thank you so so much!! :* :)
This was possibly the most fiddly thing I ever sewed up, partly because of fabric/supply choices (a very thin cotton lining that rips easily, combined with very sturdy/bulky zippers, oops), but I DID IT! Thanks so much for this video, without it I would've given up. Can't wait to start using my fanny pack
Hi! I just tried a Fennel for the first time and I found this tutorial to be utterly essential. Thank you so much! I really like the way you don't edit out all the fabric management that goes into lining up and pinning your seams. Bags are tricky and it helps to know the best way to cleanly get the part you aren't sewing out of the darn way lol. I have a question though. Did you use the pattern's original dimensions for this video? The 2.5 in wide top and bottom panels end up being so narrow after they're cut in half and have the zipper sewn in them. I only used a 1/4 in seam allowance on the zipper and it still felt like I barely had enough fabric to pull apart and sew the outer and lining main panels in without a lot of pulling and strategic pinning and cursing, haha. I rewatched this video and your top and bottom panels just look a little more generous than mine did somehow.
Glad that my video helped you! 😊 I ended up widening the depth of the bag after making/filming one with bias binding version! It's a dilemma as the original size is way cuter than the bigger one but it only fits for my phone! Oh this pattern includes 3/8" SA not 1/2". 1/2" SA could make your bag even smaller! 😊
Very nice pouch, thank you. I would cut the corners of front and back slightly rounded, that would make it easier to sew on the “top- side- bottom panel”.
Stay tuned for the second video (about the Bias Binding version originally instructed in the pattern) coming soon and happy sewing this holiday season! My only modification here was to lengthen the width of theT/B Panel by 1".
I'm in the process of making this fun bag with the drop in method. I purchased the pattern a few months ago. I see you have commented on lengthening the width of the T/B Panel by 1". Is this something we need to do? Or was the pattern updated to include that measurement. My biggest struggle was I am following the PDF pattern and also watching your video and getting all mixed up because the steps are entirely different. I finally realized the PDF pattern is only the bias binding method. So I'm going to try a 2nd bag and see how easy it will be. It sure is cute and I'm looking forward to making more!
Can I check how many panels to cut of outer and lining fabric? The pattern has 3 of each but is it not 2 outer fabric and 4 of lining fabric? Thank you, really helpful video tutorial
the sewing of the front top and bottom panel is so hard for me I sewed it and when i flipped it the bottom was still showing the wrong side of the lining is there written for the drop in lining anywhere I am so frustrated. I have do problem with the binding method thanks
So completed my first Fennel Fanny Pack using the Bias Binding method. I am now working on another fanny pack using the Drop in Lining method and have a question. At timestamp 7:24.... attach top panel and bottom panel. At 7:36 "sew only the zipper area thru all the layers". So what is the zipper area? Just the zipper tape that is visible between the top and bottom pieces of the main panel OR the entire 1 1/4 inch zipper? Hopefully you understand what I am trying to ask.
@@SewingTherapy Ok thanks. I will assume we need to sew the entire 1.25 inch zipper and not just the zipper that is visible. I am going to experiment with the drop in lining method before I start the next Fennel Fanny Pack. I just finished my 2nd fennel fanny pack using faux leather with the bias binding method. I also widened the top and bottom panel by 1 inch as you suggested in one of your replies. What a difference that 1 inch makes. Again thanks for your tutorial.
@@Tmiller4930 I did not end up doing the drop in lining method. I could not figure out the one step as noted above so I am finishing the current fennel fanny pack with the binding method. Not certain if I will make another one.
I love this video so much and it really helped me to finish my fanny pack, but all the seams are so bulky. Did you cut your seam allowance down at all? I feel like the lining doesn't really sit nice and flush in the bag. I didn't use interfacing, though, so that might also be part of the problem.
I liked its bulky seams as it makes the bag more structured in the shape. If you don’t like the lining’s movement in the bag, I recommend handstitching every corner, which will help! Thanks for watching!
What is the Background music in the beginning? Btw mam your videos are inspiring. I hope I can get time to learn sewing soon after my college entrance exam.
Thank you so much for this! The video is lovely, and extremely helpful. A question - do you use 4 of the large-size lining pieces? I'm on the last step and can't figure out where I've messed up, because I don't have a lining piece to finish with.
@@SewingTherapy Sorry about that! I checked out your blog, and think I figured it out. The pattern calls for 3 main panel outer layers and 3 main panel linings, but you use 2 main panel outer layers and 4 main panel linings, correct?
I bought this pattern expecting to have the actual pattern cut-outs but its just measurements and im so upset!😭! I wanted to save time not measuring anything
I find this so complicated and confusing about halfway through. I’m an intermediate-advanced sewing but too frustrated and will have to abandon project 😭
This was such an excellent video! I followed it step by step and now I have 3 cute fanny packs and ZERO frustrations!! This was so very helpful!! Thank you so much!!!
Soooo happy to hear my video was helpful! 👍
Thank you so much for the video. I prefer this method than the bias binding and this video was easy to follow
Glad it was helpful!

You're sooo welcome! These are my first fanny packs and I'm so enjoying wearing them everywhere! :)
Thank you. I really enjoyed this tutorial. As ever greatly informative. You are a fantastic teacher.
Thanks so much, Julia! Happy to hear you enjoyed my video! ;)
Thank you!! This is such a useful video. I wish your channel much success. You are a great tutor.
Aww thanks so much! xx
I will have to make a fanny pack. Love that they have come back in fashion!
Me too! I have always wanted to make one for a long time! And I'm so happy to have several now! 😊

It is a great tutorial. You should be able to slow down the playback speed in the settings. That's what I had to do.
I finally found this video! I found your finished product in pinterest and im inlove with this fanny pack! Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial 🤎🤍
Glad you've found my video! Hope yours turn out beautifully!
Can I ask what model/brand your sewing machine is?

Yay! Glad to hear your first trial was a success! ❤️👍
Thank you! Thank you! Such a great tutorial. I much prefer the drop in lining method. This is the perfect size fanny pack. Tina H
Hope you enjoy making yours, Tina! 😊
This is an amazing tutorial!! I've been trying to figure out how a drop-in lining would work with this particular bag, but couldn't find tutorials anywhere, thank you so so much!! :* :)
I'm glad you found my tutorial! 😊 Hope it helped your drop-in lining version making!
i guess it is kind of off topic but does anyone know of a good place to stream new movies online ?

@@marianb2826 thanks for responding 👍🏽
at about minute 14 you say to clip at the marks...I must have missed something. How do I know where those marks are? Thanks!
At approximately 12:30, the video shows where we marked.
Hola! Dónde podría conseguir los moldes o las medidas para hacer la riñonera? Gracias
Your sewing techniques are so nice. I love it. Besides that I like the BGM very much, where I can find that?
Where can I get those zippers you showed at 2 minute mark?
Unfortunately the zipper has been discontinued! 🥲

Thanks so much for watching! I can't recall the name of the song as I choose randomly!
Zipper i have is not 1.25” wide; it’s only 1” wide. How do i adjust the pattern?
The width of zipper won’t make any difference as only coil part is showing! Hope it makes sense!
Thank you so much for this! The video is lovely, and extremely helpful.
A question - do you use 4 of the large-size lining pieces? I'm on the last step and can't figure out where I've messed up, because I don't have a lining piece to finish with.
Thanks for watching!
I didn't quite understand the question though! 😅
@@SewingTherapy Sorry about that! I checked out your blog, and think I figured it out. The pattern calls for 3 main panel outer layers and 3 main panel linings, but you use 2 main panel outer layers and 4 main panel linings, correct?
Hi! How can i purchase the pattern?. Thank u!
There's a link in the description! 😊
There are no measurements of the panels. Can you please mention the measurements?
It's not a free pattern. I can't provide the measurements.
I bought this pattern expecting to have the actual pattern cut-outs but its just measurements and im so upset!😭! I wanted to save time not measuring anything
This pattern has you cut them yourself from the measurements provided. I’m sorry that I can’t be more helpful since it’s not my pattern.🥲
I find this so complicated and confusing about halfway through. I’m an intermediate-advanced sewing but too frustrated and will have to abandon project 😭
Oh no! Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful! 🥲
The title is misleading. This is not a drop-in lining. Quite simply, it is lined.thank you for the tutorial though. A little fast but still good.
Me perdí completamente. No sabe explicar nada
