Seam Allowance
I suggest including an additional 1 cm | 0.4 in of seam allowance to the pattern pieces for this project. Neglecting to do so may result in a smaller crossbody fanny pack.
You can easily mark the seam allowance on your fabric using a ruler or tape measure. Another option is to utilize a seam gauge, a handy sewing tool with various markings for different seam allowances.
Adding seam allowance is crucial in sewing to guarantee that your bag matches the intended size.
