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.

Congratulations Maggie and welcome to Module 4! Your belt is gorgeous, I especially love the toggle area, it's brilliant. And I hope you have some of that fantastic felt left for other projects, it would look amazing on its own, uncut I mean. I have been looking back to all your work for this Module, you must be proud.
Love Daniela
What a stunning belt, Maggie, love the toggles and the chunky spirals.
Looking forward to module 4?
What a great outcome ,the felt is lovely and I especially like the way you've used the toggles.I haven't started my wrap yet gardening has intervened but I do have the fabric,really need to get going.
Maggie well done it's beautiful! It looks as if you are enjoying things. I am also having fun albeit slowly. Looking forward to summer school this year. Paula x
