Accessories when wearing a kilt.

[Lady Grey]

I would never be so crass as to call what I wear with some of my kilts a sporran.
However I did find that I needed something to hold 'stuff'. Often, due to my work needs, a handbag isn't practical so I came up with the following compromise as I need to carry a phone at all times, some change & ID. (I don't like the look of bum bags & don't call them 'fanny packs' in Australia, it means something else entirely!)
I bought a couple of ladies evening bags at the op-shop for $1 each, punched some holes in the side, added some webbing to some swivel clasps for the side attachments, plastic sliders and clasps to hold it together and adjust as needed (the clasps are quick release for safety) Other than $2 spent on the bags, everything else was found amongst the mess that is called 'my stash'
I need to get some heavier webbing for future projects as I think it will sit better.
It's quick, easy, cheap and I constantly look out for cheap new/old bags in various colours and styles to match other items in my wardrobe or shoe collection (that's a whole other thread... Footwear with kilts) I do however draw the line at sequins and sparkles for daytime wear.
I've also used a nurses pouch to hold 'stuff' and it works well but is a little to lightweight for my liking.
Please excuse the wool kilt (RevK) it's not finished yet. The polka dot is a denim RevK with a shaped waistband at the back to stop the horrid 'back rise' which just looks plain tacky.
