Alternative instructions step 6 and 7.

1. Fold panel along fold line. Wrong sides out, stitch bottom and short edges. Do not stitch edge with seam mark "C".

Tips for curves, step 8 and 9

1. Wrong sides out, pin your panels aligning seam marks, and begin to sew perimeter.
2. Take your time, sewing tight curves gets easier with patience and practices.
3. Tip: I find it helpful to start stitching along the top and bottom seam marks so any bunching happens in the corners or along shorter sides.
4. Tip: Shorten your stitch length around the curves.

1. Flip your fanny pack right side out through the top zipper.
2. Closely inspect and correct any mistakes or misalignment with a seam ripper. No shame!
3. Depending on your fabric choices, stop seam fray by edge binding or fuse with a Bic lighter.
4. Finish off by installing hardware and install cord pulls to silence jingly bits.
