Leaf Hip Pouch + Belt Sewing Pattern
Keep your essentials close and your hands free with this charming hip pouch, featuring a leaf-shaped flap. Use it on your own belt, or sew a cloth belt with the included belt pattern, perfect for making coordinated sets.
An internal pocket keeps contents organised, and a button fastener keeps everything secure, making the hip pouch a practical accessory for everyday use. With three different sized pouches, you can choose the one that suits your needs best - a petite pouch for the bare essentials, or a larger one for festivals or foraging.
The Leaf Hip Pouch is easy to sew - no previous bag-making experience needed!
Add-ons: Sew ten more unique leaf flap styles with the Leafy Add-On, available here.
Skill level: Adventurous beginner
Video Support: A full course of clear, concise videos accompany this pattern, alongside a comprehensive written and photographed instruction booklet.
