I’m thinking of bringing a more glamorous fanny pack back into fashion. Well, at least for my personal use.
The clutch purse I made several months ago will be the one I use to make my fanny pack.
Years ago when hubby and I would travel we would quickly grab our fanny packs, especially when we went to Reno or Las Vegas.
I know that they’re not very fashionable and considered elderly wear, and a faux pas, but I’m here to bring it back into fashion for women.
Since we’ll be taking a little trip soon, I’m trying to make things a little easier for myself because my purse weighs at least 10 lbs. with all the junk I carry in it. My idea sounds good for me and hope some of you will think the same.
I found a metal chain belt that will be used to fasten around my waist holding the purse in place once I sew some belt loops on the inside of my clutch purse.
Finding what to wear it with will be fun.
Okay, I’m ready.
Vamonos!♥♥♥♥

I really like it! It’s not the usual frumpy fanny pack! 🙂 I’ll confess that I own a very frumpy, black, fanny pack that I can’t seem to throw away. I bought it in my 20s to take to amusement parks and other places that I would be walking all day. With the cute belt, this could start a new fashion statement! 🙂

Do you have an Etsy shop? You’re very crafty and could probably sell your stuff!

I think it is very fashionable, Dora. I think you should toy around with a men’s version using a leather belt and some sort of rugged black bag thingie. I’d use that
