Tuesday Project Roundup: Garden Tool Belt!

I’ve been weeding a lot lately, trying to get ahead of it before they really take hold, and I got so annoyed by losing my tools every time I moved with my bucket and kneeling pad that I started looking at garden tool belts to BUY.

Then I came to my senses, found a free pattern, used materials I already had, and MADE one, of course.

This took about an hour from start to finish and is exactly what I wanted. The pattern I used was free and had actual pattern pieces, not just dimensions to cut (20 years of garment sewing means I always prefer that). I didn’t make the second pocket and I didn’t end up needing the elastic strap over the bellows pockets because everything stays put fine for me.

I used 1000D Cordura from when I was auditioning fabrics for my travel backpack, ready-made bias tape, and webbing and a buckle left over from my big hiking pack. Boom!
