This is initial result. This is the most I can do with the machine. It is not completely finish sewing yet.
Before I continue with hand sewing, I test it first.

Looking fine to me. Height wise is as I want.
So I continue with hand sewing the rest of the part. It has to be hand sew because the opening of the pouch is so small, I cannot flip open it till the machine needle can reach it comfortably. This is the most time consuming job. But I always hand sew repair my clothes back in the uni time so this kind of feel nostalgia.

Finally, done! I cannot remember how long I spent. But definitely not 5 minutes job. Although I said I knew how to do it, I didn't say I can do it beautifully
You can see that ugly, non-straight sew line by my hands.

Test wear! It works as it is anticipated.



Today morning I did my routine wash and I use this new toy. Instead of using the belt as shown in the picture above, I use back the ropes that I take out from the Standard Chartered bag. Because it feels softer, I think safer than the belt.
Some after-use experience:
1) The tool belt height level is good. My hand can reach to the bottom of the bag without the need to bend my waist.
2) The bag depth and the position where I sew it to the belt holder back piece is also just right for the trigger sprayer. The highest point of the trigger sprayer does not disturb my elbow. I can comfortably reach to the trigger spray head to grab it also.
3) When squat down, the trigger sprayer bottle sit firmly in the bag. Good, now it is singing "I Will Follow You".
Some improvement on next DIY attempt base on current observation:
1) It is better to use a slightly bigger mouth opening bag, or bag with a fold layer like the following:

Right now my bag is like envelope type, at the bottom there is no flat area. This actually is not a problem, it is the mouth opening. With a envelope style of design, once hang on waist, the mouth kind of tend to stay closer to the back piece, making me must use two hands, one to open the opening, another hand to insert the bottle. It will be ideal if the opening is open by itself, then I just need to put in and take out the bottle with one hand. Which is why I suggested fold layer bag, because the opening has larger area.
2) One belt level is enough, no need to make lower belt level on the back piece.
Overall, I realize that this recycle bag material is really a suitable kind of material to use, because unlike cloth, once you cut it, you will need to back fold it once and sew, in order to prevent the strings that made the cloth starts to come out by itself slowly. Whereas for recycle bag material, no such problem.
It is also soft. I think should be safe on paint as long as I do not brute force.
The only drawback is it is not waterproof. Although it get wet, but it still can be use continuously, just that a wet thing is next to your pants.
I will continue testing it for several times to see its durability. As for now, I am satisfy with this DIY attempt.
Cost: Maybe RM10? The bag is after all taken from my mother without informing her in advance.
Appearance: Admittedly ugly.
Practicability: Definitely working as I want it to so far.
