Jessica's tips for sewing your Fanny Pack:

1. When you baste your main fabric to the foam, using a basting stitch at 5 or 6mm.

2. If you're using Sherpa fabrics, use a heavy weight fusible interfacing rather than the foam to reduce a bit of bulk.

3. Place your zippers so they're easily accessible to your dominant hand when you're wearing the bag on you!
