This is the first thing I've ever sewn (by myself) on my sewing maching and it turned out wonderfully! My best friend said that the diagonal pockets really made the look. Great tutorial, thank you!

Wow, very nice idea! Btw, do you think that it would be fine if the belt would be made to a bag? :-|
