Chapter 11 - Composite Sheet for Accessory

Chapter 10 - Design an Accessory

Having decided to make a belt as my accessory piece the sketch here was my original design. This design developed as I began constructing and a few of the features had to be changed. How to fasten the belt was a problem and the original idea of having a tassel didnt prove suitable. I changed this to a knotted cord fastener which enabled the plaited threads to be pulled tight. It seemed to take ages to make!! but I'm pleased with the result.

I made a few pieces of felt till I found one that I was happy to use for my belt. This is the piece I chose. I knew I could find 3 interesting areas to cut out for the belt panels.
