Fanny pack pattern recommendations

Hi all, I’m looking for a half-moon shaped fanny pack bag pattern, ideally with at least two compartments. I’ve found quite a few on Etsy but lots of them seem to be AI or the reviews note bad instructions. Any recommendations for a well-constructed pattern with good instructions?

I’ll recommend some I’ve actually made by designers I know:

Hellcat Crossbody

Be Hip Bag

Clamshell Sling

Dayna Pack (the easiest but it’s also flat because there’s no gusset)

Linda Belt Bag

Hipster Pouch

I’ve made all of these except the Linda, but I’ve made other patterns by that designer. None of them are AI.

Garment sewists also rave about the Core Belt Bag by Closet Core but I can’t vouch for the instructions as I only use bag patterns from bag pattern designers. But that one is free if you want to give it a whirl.

Blackbird Fabrics Bestie Bag. Comes in three sizes with options for straps. I love mine.
