Belt

I made this lace-up belt a while ago and used it a while on dresses that did not have pockets. I wanted to have my cell phone with me as I go about my day, so I had to have something with a pocket. 

I used the belt pattern that came with the peasant shirt pattern (Simplicity 5799). 

The belt was handy while my phone fit in that little pocket. The phone sizes grew, and my current phone does not fit in it any more. So, I should make another one with a bigger pocket, but you know how a "to make" list keeps on growing...
