Pip is a practical little pouch with belt loops at the back, so you can attach it to your (handmade) belt and always keep your essentials close at hand. The small pouch is perfect for coins and payment cards. The larger pouch, on the other hand, is ideal for storing your sewing essentials, such as your seam ripper, small scissors, and other handy tools.

The construction is simple. The pouch closes with a snap fastener, although you can of course choose to use a button and buttonhole instead.
You can sew a matching belt to go with it, attach your Pip to an existing belt, or turn your Filippa bag  into a true utility belt by sliding a Pip pouch onto it. The possibilities are endless!

Fabric choice

Level

Pip has a straightforward construction and does not involve complicated sewing techniques. This makes it an ideal project for beginners, or a quick and satisfying make for more experienced sewists..

Notions

Fabric requirements 

The fabric lengths charts show how much fabric you will need for all variations, calculated on a standard fabric width of 140 cm - 1.55 yd. If your fabric is narrower, you will need more fabric length. For broader or narrower fabrics you can calculate how much fabric you will need by laying out the pattern pieces on the table according to your fabric width and measuring how much fabric length you will need accordingly.

Variants

This pattern gives you the opportunity to make not 1, but several bags. Here is an overview of all the variants you can make with this set of pattern pieces.
