Love making this project, have made several in fact. Instructions are easy to follow (consider myself an intermediate bag maker).
Hi Janet,
Thank you so much for your kind words about the Fifth Avenue Belt Bag! We're thrilled to hear you've enjoyed the design and found the instructions easy to follow—that means a lot coming from an experienced bag maker like yourself.
It’s wonderful that you’ve made several already! We love the one you shared here and hope that you will also share on our Facebook group.
Thanks again for your support and happy sewing!
The Fifth Avenue belt bag sewed and embroidered beautifully in Sallie Tomato cork and webbing. The cork, zippers and pulls, and buckle were all part of the spring advent box. I will use this bag for holding my phone and keys while walking my dog. I wasn’t sure how the exterior zipper would turn out, but it’s perfect! Another clearly written and high quality pattern from Sallie Tomato! The videos are the best!!
Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! We’re thrilled that the Fifth Avenue Belt Bag came together beautifully—and that it’s already part of your daily routine.
It’s wonderful to hear the Spring Box materials worked so well, and we’re especially glad the videos helped make the process smooth and enjoyable. If you ever feel like sharing a photo of your finished bag, we’d love to feature it in our community! Please post in our Sallie Tomato Patterns and Hardware Group on Facebook. Yours turned out amazing and we love your use of the cork.
Happy stitching—and happy dog walking!
Very easy to make it and it looks great when done
Thank you so much for your review! We’re so glad to hear the Fifth Avenue Fanny Pack was easy to make and turned out looking great—that’s exactly what we love to hear!
It’s such a fun and stylish project, and we’re thrilled it came together smoothly for you. Thanks again for sewing with us and being part of our community!
Perfect for travel. Look forward to making them in different fabrics as gifts. I will use stiffer interfacing next time.
We think it is perfect for travel too! If not a member-please join our Sallie Tomato Patterns and Hardware Group on Facebook for more inspiration. Happy sewing and thank you.
