    Looking for a fanny pack
    on: May 01, 2008, 06:53:28 PM
    I know...how very 80s/90s to be wanting a fanny pack.  But I would like one for my clinical rotations as a nursing student in the hospital.  Something that I can wash as I'm sure random fluids will be on it.  And something big enough to handle syringes, extra gloves, etc. 

    Any suggestions???

    Thanks!

      The Japanese book "Machine Made Patchworks" (ISBN 4-579-11020) has a reasonably stylish one on page 37.  It's designed to wear on a belt.  The instructions are all in Japanese, but there are lots of diagrams to show you what to do.  I got my copy at a Kinokuniya bookstore.

        Green Pepper makes outdoor wear patterns. I found one on their website.

          I would suggest you take a look at some people have made on Craftster, (there might be a tutorial there, I can't remember now) and Etsy too.  Here are some really innovative ones I found on Etsy--in case you decide to buy Wink  http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11655322

          You also might be able to make your own without a pattern.  Use D-rings or clips for adjustable closure. 

          I found a pattern on Etsy, just in case you do other crafts besides sewing, here it is. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11114448

          Also try Lazygirl designs, there is a fanny pack pattern towards the middle here.  (scroll down) http://www.lazygirldesigns.com/bags.php

          ps...I apologize if the link to another crafting site isnt allowed...please let me know and I will remove it!

                Consider this web site for a "hip slinger". No need to register or login to obtain.
