Turn your outings into stylish, practical adventures with this jean-style hip bag. Whether you’re headed to the grocery story or out on a hike, this bag keeps your hands free. And unlike pockets in clothing, it keeps items secure and comfortable.
Tired of purses sliding off your shoulder or swinging wildly when you change position? Here’s your fix. Easier to access than a backpack, and simple to hide under a shirt or coat for safekeeping, hip bags are great for travel and airports.
Store them as a wallet-like small purse inside of your larger bag so you can quickly grab the essential when you don’t want to carry your whole purse on an excursion or quick stop. When I was shopping in Milan recently (yes, Italy), nearly all of the purses were sold with matching hip bags. It’s high fashion!
This pattern is for a lined hip bag with two main pockets, that can be made to fit any person with help from the included sizing formula.
For additional functionality, add pockets (with or without zippers) or key rings in practical places. Get wild and make pockets for specific items. Learn how to modify your own hip bag so that you can stash what you want and find it with ease.
Choose a fabric that perfectly suits you or the lucky person you are giving it to as a gift. These hip bags are ideal for any man, woman, or child who likes being on the cutting edge of fashion and technology. A quick and practical project, they can take as little as two days to make. The pattern and instructions have been tested by both beginner sewists and experienced seamstresses.
Prep for your next adventure AND make everyone jealous of your gear by sewing yourself a hip bag for every season! Now available as a printable pdf or in epub ebook format via the links below.
