Small bag to attach to skirts
Posted: Fri May 29, 2020 9:15 pm
Hi,
I started speaking about it in my introduction topic (here), I found a picture of a skirt embedded with a bag and I loved how it's done. Here's the picture.
I will definitely try it (one day, when I will have motivation for it, on a 36 february, over a rainbow unicorn, etc). But I'm not sure how I will make the attach part. I don't have these steel pieces right now thus I will have to be creative if I do it in a "not too long time". And also I think it could be useful to somebody else than me now or in the future, in this case it will be easier to find here than somewhere in an obscure introduction topic.
I'm thinking about something similar with some velcro. Each steel piece will be replaced by a velcro system. It would be a classic (strength) ribbon with grip velcro near from the bag and non-grip velcro at the other end, and I will pass it throught the fabric pieces which usually serves to keep belt in place. There will then be two ribbons with velcro, that will work independantly from each other.
What do you think about this idea? Sounds it feasible? Would you prefer using another attach-system? Should it be any problem with adding fabric pieces to hold the bag? Which color looks best suited for all sorts of skirts?
I'm quite enthousiatic with this because it seems to be a nice way to solve the skirt-pocket problem. While for some skirts it's easy to add pockets (open one seam (not sure about this word), add the pocket and eventually a zipper to close it), there are skirts with which you can't do that (unadapted fabric or not enough skills), you can eventually add an external pocket but it's often ugly particularly when you don't have original fabric to use for. As opposite, a such bag with well chosen colors, will be universal, will fit with all kind of skirt and won't require to have similar fabric than the skirt (which is often when you buy it in some shop, and buying two skirts to have it is not compatible with "think green"). It will probably requires to add small fabric pieces to skirts to allow attaching this bag, but it's a small task to be done and even without the bag it can stays at least a bit stealth.
Keep in mind it have to be strength, as it will be a floating bag holding most likely important things, I don't want it to be ripped off by somebody else. The only way it could be (even if I hope it won't ever happen), is if the skirt is broken while ripping off (which implies to try very powerfully) (Yes, I'm a bit paranoid)
Thank you and have a nice week-end
