Totes Unique - Belt Bags

Pattern - "Bummity" by Spencer-Ogg

 

Belt Bags

 

Some may call them bum bags, others call them fanny packs but as these particular bags are designed to go on a belt, I'll call them Belt Bags.   

 

 

 

These are simple, pouch-like, bags with a long belt holder at the back.  These are handy for going out & about on holiday as they can either be hand carried or placed on a belt to keep it close to the body.

 

 

These particular bags were made for Service Veterans.  

I used a brown, distressed, soft faux leather for two of them, as I'd already made some "Bag Buddies" in a brown pebble effect faux leather I made a matching bag to go with them (all from patterns by Spencer-Ogg). Lastly, I also made one in some Camo cotton drill fabric.  Whilst they can fit any belt around 1"/25cm wide, I did make a webbing belt with side buckles just in case anyone needed it.

 

I bought myself a "Green Machine" rivet press a few weeks ago but hadn't really used it - I made up for that on this project.

 

Totes Unique - Cork Valet Tray

 

 

 

Cork Valet Tray

 

I'd seen a lot of cork being used as a faux leather in several online bag/purse/wallet making tutorials & decided to get some to try.

 

To see how it handled I decided to make a few simple Valet/Trinket trays, they came out rather well, in fact they were no sooner made than they had offers of new homes! In fact this lucky pair are now permanently on their hols . . . pity about the weather though!
