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!
