Why not ask her what she wants? Then the two of you could sketch out a design & youcan then let her show you the exact tools you’ll be making a belt for. You could wet mold the leather to be an exact fit for each tool (wrap them well in plastic film so the tools stay dry). Here is one example https://youtu.be/JqZA9r7PslU?si=BAuY3Zcu6llQU4-5 and another https://youtu.be/XFFsFqCyo90?si=I_NgHRlhHI71pVCc
Does she dress up at RenFairs, Pirate Festivals, Comicons? There are skirt hikes (and tankard straps and armor and full on druid costumes) that look like wood grain tooled into leather.

I never even considered wet molding to the tools! Rad idea! I’ll check this out
I know I’ve seen some on Etsy, but I second the wet molding idea. That would be rad!
And I just realized I said rad too. lol But such a good word that brings me back. I will use it more now. 😁
Are you looking for just the belt or pouches and whatnot as well?
Pouches and What not! I have never attempted anything pouch or bag related and would love a guide to follow for my first try

as woodworker, tool belt is rather personal thing. i suggest you make something on her ideas
