Quick seatbelt bag made from recycled seat belts. Quick to make. A couple of hours and it will last centuries

Here is a wonderful project that is quick and easy to make.  You'll need to search the internet for seat belt in 2" rolls.  You can usually purchase 10 yards for about $17.00

I'm from the flower child times and believe in recycling and repurposing as most of you know.  You're friends will love this with a couple bottles of wine or sparkling juices.  You can also fill it with cookie treats or whatever.  Makes a gift that will outlast anything else you can sew.

You'll need to cut nine- 2" wide strips of webbing for the main body of the bag.
When you sew these together Fold over the top of the three center strips and sew down before you sew the sides together.


 


Hand holds



 Be sure to center these on the other strips so you have the hand hold in the center.


Cut 5 strips 28 " long for the side inserts. These will be cut in half for each side.
Side pockets on each side navy blue
For the contrasting color on the side pockets you'll need to cut 5 strips 18" long.  These will be cut in half and use on each side.

Lets get sewing.  I have three more to make.
