Featuring a handy zipper closure, this hip pouch offers easy access to all your essentials while securing them in place. The adjustable strap lets you customize the fit to ensure maximum comfort regardless of your activity level. Wear it snug and close to your body when you're cycling or hiking, or let it hang loose when you're strolling around the city.
One of the major highlights of this pattern is its versatility in size. With a full range of options from 12-18m up to women's 5XL, there's a size for everyone. Designed to wrap around the waist, the strap length can easily be adjusted to fit anyone - toddler, teen, or adult!

A quick note before you dive in: Our patterns include multiple files so you can sew the way you like—at home on a printer, at a copyshop (A0), or with a projector.
Quick answers
- After checkout, you can download your pattern from the confirmation page, from the email we send, or anytime under Account → My Downloads using the same email you purchased with.
- Your files come in a .zip. It’s easiest to download on a computer, unzip, and you’ll see: Instructions, Letter/A4, A0, and a Projector file.
- Printing at home? Open the Letter/A4 PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader and print at 100% (Actual Size), then check the test square.
- Prefer no paper? Use the Projector file. It includes a calibration layer so you can confirm scale before you cut.
- Need a big print? Send the A0 file to a local copyshop or an online printer.
- If you get stuck, email hello@lowlandkids.com and we'll be happy to help!
⸻
Downloads & accounts
How do I get my files?
Right after payment you’ll see a download button on the confirmation page. We also email you links in your order confirmation email. And you can log in to our website any time and find everything under View Downloads.
What pattern files are included?
Four PDFs: Instructions, Letter/A4 (home printing), A0 (copyshop), and Projector.
Can I download on my phone or tablet?
Yes! Check out our Printing and Projector tips page for specific guidance.
⸻
Projector sewing (quick start)
Do your patterns include projector files?
Yes—our current catalog includes projector-optimized files for nearly all patterns. You’ll see “Projector” listed in each download.
How do I check scale?
Open the Projector file and turn on the calibration layer. Confirm the 1” / 2.5 cm squares measure correctly. If you move your projector or cutting surface, re-check before you cut.
Any setup tips?
Keep the text/markers layer visible. If labels look faint, check your PDF viewer’s accessibility settings and disable “replace document colors.” You can also enable the black background layer for higher contrast.
⸻
Print-at-home (Letter/A4)
1. Open the Letter/A4 PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
2. In the print dialog, choose Actual Size (100%) and auto portrait/landscape.
3. Print the page with the test square first; measure to confirm scale.
Troubleshooting:
- If the whole pattern prints on a single page, you likely opened the wrong file (use Letter/A4, not A0 or Projector).
- If lines look fuzzy or misaligned, try “Print as image,” make sure your printer driver is up to date, and restart your computer.
⸻
Copyshop / A0
Download the A0 file and send it to a copyshop or an online service. Many sewists print a single master copy and trace sizes as needed.
Note that we protect our patterns by locking the pdf files to prevent editing in tools like Adobe Illustrator. In rare circumstances copy shops might use software that invisibly requests edit access and will show errors when attempting to open our files.
⸻
Layers (print only the sizes you need)
All patterns include layers. Open the Layers panel in Acrobat Reader and hide sizes you don’t need. This keeps lines clear and makes grading between sizes easier.
⸻
Sizing & skill level
Each product page shows the skill level and links to the size chart. If measurements land between sizes, it’s common to use the width of one size and the length of another.
⸻
What machines do I need?
A regular sewing machine is all you need to start. A serger is optional but great for knit fabrics and tidy seams. A coverstitch is helpful for professional hems but not required.
⸻
Can I sell what I make?
Yes—items must be sewn by you personally. Mass production or outsourcing isn’t allowed. For manufacturing inquiries, email us.
⸻
Need help?
We’re happy to troubleshoot downloads, printing, or projector setup. Email hello@lowlandkids.com and include your order email and a screenshot of your issue if you can.

Will be making this over and over!
"I love how this bag turned out ultimately but can’t give 5 stars because I ended up tossing my first attempt halfway through and starting over. I’m not sure it’s really beginner friendly (I have been sewing for a long time) and I think some steps could have been made easier (i. e. , sewing the outside and lining to the zipper in two steps would have been easier than sandwiching all the layers and doing it in one step, as directed). With that said, I love the design, the instructions were really clear and I love the finished product."
Great bag pattern!
"It is such a cute lil pattern. I am not good with binding, so I followed a birthing method of sewing, but I liked it and it came out well."
"Great quick sew and detailed instructions!"
These are a hit!
"Great pattern and instructions! Very clear and everyone I’ve gifted one to loves them. I’ve made every size with varying fabrics and they all come out beautifully. This is not my first lowland pattern and I keep coming back for more."
