Have I ever mentioned to you how much I love my assistant, Jan?
She is so thoughtful, so kind and so patient. Everyday she comes to work with a smile on her face and makes our day better. I love her laugh and her voice. 🙂 She is one of those people who can light up a room just by walking in.
One day she showed up with a bag full of vintage belt buckles for me. Talk about lighting up a room! She found them at a yard sale and thought I might like them. And yes, I LOVE them, Jan! They are beautiful and perfect for making some new spring fabric belts.
To liven up your spring wardrobe, just grab a 1/4 yard of your favorite fabric, a buckle, a few sewing tools and we’ll get started.

You are so very welcome, Elizabeth. My pleasure!
These old buckles can also be used for garment adornment and jewelery.
That would be fun, too! Thanks for sharing!
Also great for bag making and scarf clips too. Great tutorial as always!
Oh, I LOVE that idea! Thanks for sharing with us!
I like the scarf clip idea too! Thanks.
I’m definitely going to do that, too.
Perfect! (That antler is awesome, too!)
Thanks, Jenni! My friend Keith and I painted antlers one day. It was a blast.

I have several vintage buckles I keep in my jewelry box so I can admire them often. I like this belt idea and the use as scarf ties!
I like this excessively! ❤

I have wanted to do these things for years. Thanks for the tutorials.
