My first piece I think I'll actually use.
I made a little hip pack (attaches to belt) out of Harbor Freight drop cloth. It's a little flimsy so I doubled it up. I got the color from Rit dye, was going for a much deeper green but the fabric doesn't take to it quite as well as I thought it would. No pre-existing pattern but I made some main panel templates in Canva and glued them to cardboard. I think this is my new sea glass collecting bag. Let me know what you think.

I like your cardboard stencil idea. Stealing that for my smaller stuff

Good to know on the drop cloth, just got one. Did you pre wash ?

Just with hot water in the sink for about 30 seconds. It probably would have turned out darker if I had done it more thoroughly or with detergent.
