It has been difficult but sewing has helped me refocus and renew. Hope it works for you. Love, love, love the plaid...red is great. I like the idea of a belt with a buckle. Maybe black leather with the buck the size of one of the plaid block repeats????celkaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641540970773683454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983143568219177072.post-22008282304695069722010-04-05T14:53:00.695-08:002010-04-05T14:53:00.695-08:00I'm glad you're back, and sewing, too!

I don't know why, but the metal edges were very sharp and cut right through. Maybe try a quilting thread or something stronger than normal thread. <br />Side note: I know it can be tough to adjust to a "new normal," especially if it's something you haven't anticipated. I hope things get better for you, and that you get the strength to deal with what's come your way.genesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170083340570760894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983143568219177072.post-36680333067150799042010-04-05T09:37:18.679-08:002010-04-05T09:37:18.679-08:00OOh!

I like the belt idea. Maybe one side leather and one side the fabric, if you have enough. But I am not sure I like it tied in front or that length.
