It finally came to making time, I used the step by step instructions on making a dry bag in the post I previously did. This website was really useful and it made the construction of the bag a lot simpler. I used the fabric from my menswear module so that I could link the two when it came to the photoshoot.
To make this I started with the belt element, this consisted on 5cm black webbing and a 5cm side release buckle. I placed the separate ends of the buckle onto the webbing, ensuring that they would fasten up in the same direction. Then it was just a matter of select the length of the webbing which I decided by making it level with the webbing on the back of the trousers. It was a feature throughout my accessory and garments that they would have these hanging tabs. To secure the end of the belt and to stop it from fraying i turned it up 1cm on itself and then sewed this down to give it a cleaned and finished final touch.
For the bag this involved a lot more, by following the instructions firstly cutting a circle and rectangle. Sewing and then attaching the elements together to give it the desired cylinder bag shape. I then needed to attach another buckle which matched that of the ones on my garment and belt. There we go a belt bag that can be used as individual accessories or together to make it a bag with strap or a bag that can be clipped to your belt.
These are images that are of the making but I will later include the ones from the shoot once I've selected and edited the best ones.
