Belt bags, Round 1

Made some belt bags, compartment measure 6.5”x5”x2” plus external zipper pocket, and interior shelf pocket. These have a belt that ranges from 33”-45.5”, after a survey of friends, that will be size B, and size A will range from 23-32”. Will shorten some of these straps so I have some of size A on hand for May Market (opens May 2nd and runs Friday-Sunday weekends through May (5 weekends!)

Also working on a larger size, 8.5”x 5.5”x2”, with a larger external zippered pocket and larger internal shelf pocket.

So far I’ve made gold sparkle vinyl, ruby red glider vinyl with a glow in the dark stripe, and space blue with a red stripe. My prototype in the larger size is charcoal sparkle with a silver white glitter stripe, and I’ve had a request for silver metallic with a glow in the dark stripe im size A strap. All of these are lined in orange vinyl, dark linings make it harder to find your stuff.

Repurposed Banner Bags for Blue Genie Art Bazaar

I’ve been making repurposed banner bags with webbing handles as a collaboration with Blue Genie Art Bazaar using banners they have from past holiday bazaars and May Markets. They are large tote bags measuring 18”x16”, great size for an overnight, gym or swim bag, etc. The material is stiff enough that I have to wrestle it a bit in the corners to turn it right side out after sewing, so I don’t want to try smaller totes because of that from this material. There is a little bit of distressing due to these being used banners. I think they’ve turned out nicely.

They will be sold in their webstore after the bags are photographed and listed. They are kind of limited edition as the material is limited, for now I’ve cut as many bags as I can from the material I was given for this purpose.
