PPC36: Cleo
So... in our last post, I told you that we had abandoned the idea of a connector piece between the sash & the strap. I liked the idea of the connector, but in the end it made the attached phone (or the attached bag) ride too low on my body.
I'm happier with this configuration as we go forward.
This strap/Sash can be worn several different ways! In the photo (above left), I am wearing it just as is. In this configuration, a phone can be stored in the Mega Pouch, (just be careful not to open it completely as your phone could fall out), along with a few credit cards and a license can be placed in the card slots. The Mini Pouch can be utilized as a place to store your keys/key fob, along with small cosmetic items
And I thought you might like a little peek inside the Mega Pouch. As you can see, there are THREE card slots, which you can use for a driver's license and 2 other cards!
And if you feel more secure carrying our phone on the inside of this Mega Pouch, there is certainly room for that, but there's also room for a passport too!
And here we have the option of wearing your phone, (via a tether tab), by snapping it to your Cargo Strap. You can hear it easily, AND... you can access it quickly on the go!
and finally- here's two pictures that are almost mirror-images. I didn't include a picture with sunglasses handing off the outside D-ring on the Mega Pouch this time, but that's pretty much what that feature is for!
And just so you know, one of the things I enjoy the most about making up samples for this new design, is that it requires SO little fabric for the focal print (just a 9" X 16" cut)! This means I can go back thru my stash & dig out small pieces of some of my all-time favorite prints that I couldn't bear to throw away & give them a new life! Such was the case with this beautiful "cat fabric", called Cleo, by Chong-A Hwang for Timeless Treasures!
And now.... it's YOUR turn!
