Fanny Pack or Belt Bag is so convenient and easy to carry especially on a day out. So I made a rectangular-shaped belt bag with cute cat fabric. The bag strap is adjustable in length, so it can be used as a chest bag or waist bag.

With sharp scissors make small snips on the gusset at the round shape of the main panel. The small snips will help the curved edge of the pouch.

Stitch from the right side seam into seam, or sew manually from the backside.
