DIY Money Belt FREE Pattern and Tutorial

Here’s a pattern for a running belt with pockets and an elasticized adjustable strap so you can tailor it to any waist size. This pouch could also be called a money belt, travel belt or sports belt. Place the pouch on your front or back and cover it with a T-shirt and no one will know it is there. There is enough room for a big phone, money, keys and even coins. Keep your valuables safe while at the gym, jogging or travelling.
