Dance the night away in your own Stash Festival Belt.

The utility belt includes three secure pockets to hold your important belongings, and is made entirely of your stashed yarn.

The fringed skirt is made from bamboo because of the fiber’s excellent draping quality.

This garment begins with the skirt; continues with the belt; then add your pockets, and embellish.

Photos Included!
