sewing your own fashion accessories - great ideas for belts
My mom sent me the link to a great online article Threads Magazine has about making your own belts. Not only do they have easy instructions, but they also have different ways to wear a belt (and which type will flatter you the most).

That got me thinking about different kinds of belts… and how I could make them :-) I’ve wanted a Japanese-style obi belt for a while now - not neccessarily as wide as this one:
But that same general idea (the pattern is McCall’s 4953 by the way) I don’t think it would be that difficult to make, and could look really cool with several different fabrics (silk perhaps?) use to layer it. Ah, so much inspiration, so little time!
