Sew to Sell Multifunction crossbody bum bag fanny pack dog walking treat carry all phone holder

This bag design has been in my head for some time. I wanted something I could use when walking the dog that contained treats, pooh bags, and a purse to hold my phone and keys. You can wear it as a crossbody bag, around the waist as a bum bag, and you can even clip the bag to the loops on your jeans.
It's quite roomy, and has a quirky new 2in1 zip technique.
If you don't have a dog to walk, you can easily omit the little eyelet, and use the front pocket for your own treats.

Update… I’ve made 3 of these! I did make one out of old denim but my machine didn’t like the thicker fabric. So i made 1 out of college fabric on the front pocket and chambray, and 1 out of Houston Astros fabric on the front pocket with matching quilting cotton. I leave off the poo bag side. I LOVE these bags!! Thanks, Christine!!❤
