Fabric Lanyard for Adults & Children | PDF Sewing Pattern

Sew your own fabric lanyards in approximately 10-15 minutes with this printable PDF sewing pattern! This easy beginner sewing pattern includes child and adult sizes in two finished lanyard widths, and a complete step-by-step video tutorial to help you sew with confidence.

Whether you’re making lanyards for yourself, your family, teachers, nurses, coworkers, school, cruises, or craft fairs, this quick and rewarding sewing project creates a practical handmade accessory you’ll use every day.

♥ Sew something useful in just 10 minutes.

Create your own fabric lanyards using quilting cotton, fabric scraps, fat quarters, novelty prints, school colors, holiday fabrics, or your favorite designer fabrics. This easy sewing pattern was designed to be fast, relaxing, and simple enough for sewists of every skill level.

Choose between a finished ½-inch-wide lanyard or a finished 1-inch-wide lanyard. The pattern also includes both child and adult size options, making it perfect for the entire family.

Whether you’re sewing a teacher lanyard, nurse badge holder, work ID lanyard, school ID holder, cruise card holder, key holder, event badge holder, volunteer lanyard, or handmade gift, the detailed written instructions and complete video sew-along tutorial will guide you through every step with confidence.

This project is so beginner-friendly that even my 5- and 7-year-old children can sew these lanyards! It’s a wonderful first sewing project for children, teens, and adults learning to sew.
