I didn’t have quite the right green on hand, so I used one strand each of two different ones and I really like how the two colours together add dimension.
The fabric is possibly a good quality cotton, or possibly a cotton linen blend; I picked it up at a second hand shop so don’t know for certain.
I finished it with bias binding, which I love the versatility of, but don’t like sewing square corners with
It’s called a pocket, but I tagged it as a bag because it’s kinda that too?
I have worn it once so far, and it works really well! Although I have discovered that bulky rings make getting my hand in a bit trickier
This is really nice! The green looks so good against that fabric.
Wearing my Moderator Hat: Since these style of pockets are historical fashion, you could consider it part of costumes and cosplay, but I think bags and wallets also works!
I have seen people wear them on a belt loop before, but generally they’re tied around the waist under a skirt and accessible through a slit in the side of the skirt, which is what I’ve made mine for.
