alpen belt bag- a must have accessory for everyday adventures
Have you heard about the incredible Alpen Belt Bag pattern designed by Kristina? I had the privilege of making one during a retreat with her last March, and let me tell you, it's absolutely amazing. This versatile bag has become an essential part of my daily routine, and I can't recommend it enough!! I currently use the bag daily and it carries everything I could want to have at the ready. Below is a photo of everything I currently carry in my Alpen Belt Bag. And Yes, I even carry wonder clips with me everywhere – they've come in handy countless times! This bag also proved to be the perfect travel companion while flying home after retreat. From the moment I boarded the flight home, the Alpen Belt Bag proved its worth. It kept my essentials secure and easily accessible throughout the journey. It's designed to ensure that everything I needed was within reach, making my travel experience smooth and stress-free.
If you're interested in creating your own Alpen Belt Bag or making one as a thoughtful gift, Kristina is hosting a sew along. Her patterns are a joy to follow, with clear instructions that make the sewing process both enjoyable and rewarding. I can't wait to make another one myself – that's how much I love this pattern!
Since I know it will be asked here are some details about the fabric and notions that I used for my specific bag. I didn’t plan on making this bag during the retreat, so I needed to purchase everything while I was there. IIt’s no secret that I always love an opportunity to shop at Stitch Supply go but it’s also fun to shop with a purpose and while in person! Ann has the best stuff and I was delighted to find a variety of options, including a charming Melody Miller zipper pull, a vibrant neon zipper, sturdy webbing, and a Sarah Heart label. My 80’s/Neon loving self was thrilled with how it turned out!!
