  • Fifth Avenue Fanny Pack Pattern Review

    Fifth Avenue Fanny Pack Pattern Review

    Fifth Avenue Fanny Pack by Sallie Tomato Pattern Review & Strap Variations The Fifth Avenue Fanny Pack by Sallie Tomato is really more of a “belt bag” than a fanny pack, as it is worn across the shoulder rather than over the “fanny.” However, it’s versatile with an adjustable, wide strap that allows you to wear it either way. Using Sulky Poly Deco Thread is recommended on the pattern, and we couldn’t agree with that choice more! The Fifth Avenue Fanny Pack is currently a free pattern (with video!) on the Sallie Tomato site. It can be made from almost any type of fabric, which means it is stash raiding…
