Finito Outfit #30#


My last outfit was styled around this pretty obi belt. It's an obi belt I easily made myself! I thought of it myself but I'm sure others must have thought of it as well. It's super easy!
I bought two ties very cheap although made of pure silk .
The evidence
Then I put one end over the other to make one piece

And I stich (machine or hand stich)  as shown. I'm sure you get the picture.It's not brain surgery .
So how about making your own in any combination possible and let  me know. As for me ...no more challenges for the moment!!!

  4. It must feel so good to be done. I can't believe the next 30 for 30 challenge is starting in less than 2 weeks. I just finished the last one mid-December! I'm stressed by the mere thought of it.

  5. Angie--Congratulations on finishing the challenge!!! I suppose you have heard she's starting up a winter challenge...although I'm going to pass.

    I'm going to make one of your obi belt designs. Adding old ties to my thrifting list.

  10. That's an amazing idea...and I am going to steal it...maybe a belt would help with patternphobia!

  11. That belt is brilliant. I followed the link over from Fabienne's blog, The House in the Clouds, and I'm so glad I did. I absolutely love this and I love how you've styled it.

  12. Thanks to Steph and Terri I found this tutorial and have made a billion of these belts (someone gifted me a bag of ties) which I've been wearing and my readers seem to really love. Thanks for posting this tutorial- it's been a lifesaver. ^_^
