#needleworkmonday :: In the process of making of a "shoulwaist" strap

After some discussions with @neumannsalva and @shanibeer regarding the challenges of a sling and a belt, @shanibeer suggested a crossover strap to keep the pouch in place (which in my opinion should be at the side, preferably resting on the butt even with vigorous walking or jogging).

So now, I am trying out a "shoulwaist" strap .

It looks like tentacles at the moment because I am still chaining a loooooong string:

This chain needs to be long enough to sling over my shoulder and tie across my waist. But I will need 3 sets because I am going to braid it to give it the reinforcement it needs.

Concurrently (i.e. when I was bored chaining), I crocheted the attachment to the pouch, for the waist band or belt to go through:

I crocheted the attachment to be about 10 cm in height:

and sewed it to the pouch, hole by hole, using a darning needle:

Once the braided shoulwaist strap is completed, I will be inserting the strap as per the diagram:

Purely experimental and will be tested once it is completed . What is needlework without a dash of experiment? ‍⚗
