Assembly
- Shape and Seam: Lay the front and back panels together, wrong sides facing (or right sides facing if you prefer an invisible seam). Using a sl st or sc seam, join the bottom edge and curve up each side, stopping approximately 1 inch from the top corners to create the curved fanny pack shape. The top section remains open for the zipper.
- Insert Zipper: Pin the zipper to the top opening of the bag. Using a sewing needle and matching thread, hand-sew the zipper securely into place. Alternatively, machine sew if you have a sewing machine.
- Add Lining (Optional): Cut two pieces of fabric lining slightly larger than your crocheted panels. Sew them together in the same shape as your bag, leaving the top open. Insert the lining into the bag and hand-sew it to the zipper tape, covering any raw edges.
- Attach Strap Hardware: Create small loops from your Grey-Purple strap material or crochet two small tabs in Yarn D. Sew these tabs/loops to the sides of the bag near the zipper. Attach D-rings or buckle hardware to these loops.
- Prepare Strap: Attach your Grey-Purple strap to the D-rings/buckle hardware. Adjust the length as desired.
- Make Tassel: Cut multiple strands of Yarn B, C, and D (approx 8-10 inches long) to create a tassel. Fold the strands in half, tie a loop around the fold, and wrap a smaller piece of yarn around the top to secure the tassel head. Trim the ends evenly. Attach the tassel to the zipper pull or one of the side loops.
