Y’know the character of Fiona on Burn Notice? I SO want her skill set -- but not her shape. Tough as she is, she does look like a stiff breeze would knock ‘er over. I also want her hip bags. Fanny packs were tacky when they first came out (and will ever remain so) but you just can’t deny their hands-free usefulness. Happy mediums can be found.
In this case, you take some bits of old leather jacket (picked apart while waiting at the dealership for the new front brake pads to be installed on your husband’s Passat) and one of the funkier airline amenities bags you got when you turned left recently (for the life of me I can’t recall which airline but it is a One World) --
(and don’t bother with the buckle in the end) -- and you get:
The leatha is like butta but even though some 16s worked fine, I don’t want to sew any more without proper needles. Because of being quite involved in getting my 2013-long blog A Year Without Craft Supplies up and running my refashioning has suffered a bit and my craft room is, to put it mildly, a disaster area. Perhaps I should add 'utter and complete'. I despair of finding those leather needles so I can make a smaller mobile (cell) pouch for the other side.
The hands free bag is cute and practical!

Yer preaching to the choir, sister! I guess when I envision 'fanny packs' I'm thinkin' canvas mesh belts with a pocket the rough size and shape of a football (American definition) which doesn't do ANYTHING for anybody's hips....
ReplyDeleteFound my leather needles so hope to update soon!
