I needed an apron/tool belt that I could wear when I am at the Markets. I don't want to carry a heavy bag, and needed things at my finger tips.
It was easy once I was happy with the shape, and you can add different pockets, lace trims etc wherever you like. And the best thing is that it's able to fit anyone!
I was inspired by something similar from KayLin Designs, Los Angeles.

Instructions
-
1
First cut a piece of fabric to the shape that you want.
Cut a piece the same shape for the lining. -
2
Grab a piece of fabric from the scraps to make a pocket.
Attach at an angle - this is for a right-handed person, so angle it so their hands can go in easily.
Before I attached it, I trimmed it with some gothic grosgrain ribbon. -
3
attach as many pockets as you want.
This one ends up on the back of the hip and is the right size as my phone.
I trimmed it with pre-gathered lace before I attached it. -
4
When you are happy with the number of pockets attached, then add some darts around the top, to make it fit the body easily.
I just pinched about 1cm and sewed a dart. I did 3 - one at the side front, one at the side, and one at the back. The side one is longer than the others. -
5
grab some scraps to make a tube.
Thread the 2 D rings through the tube and pin to side front panel. -
6
Cut a length of fabric for the strap - I just cut it from selvedge to selvedge.
Sew it length wise and turn it right side out.
press.
Attach to the back of the apron. -
7
Attach the lining panel and sew.
Trim and cut corners.
Turn right side out and press. -
8
Add trims if desired.
ready to wear!! -
9
The back/side view - or it could end up on your front Left hip.
