The belt and pockets were mostly made with a 25 cent skein of yarn I got garage sale-ing, accented with another yarn I already had, buttons, and felt/bead peacock feathers.
The main pocket is big (wallet-sized) and has a large feather on the front. Perfect for carrying around money, an ID, etc.
I also put on two smaller pockets: one that would fit a camera and another for lip balm or something else small. The whole thing ties on with longer crocheted pieces.
I can't wait to wear this to our next festival this summer! It's practical, cute, and didn't cost me $130 to make! Depending how the initial wearing goes, I'd like to make more similar bags to sell. What do you think? Would you wear a crocheted hip bag?
Super cute Karen! I def. think you can pull it off...no questions! Plus, I love you skirt!
