Crazy Patch Belts

































Here are pics of my Crazy Patch belts - the top one was made a few years ago now - multi-coloured with hand embroidery and of course hand made lace (mostly mine but a couple of pieces given to me by friends are included).... the bottom one is the one I made early last year in a Navy Blue, Cream and Rust theme to wear in Japan at the OIDFA Lace congress - all clothes in my suitcase were in that colourway! which meant it was all mix and match! hehe!
I have just started a slightly different shaped one - hopefully it will be finished by April for my New Zealand Teaching trip - a colour scheme this time of Red, White and Black and I will also be taking this colour scheme to UK in July and to Sydney/Tasmania in Sept/Oct :-) I will get plenty of use out of the new belt haha!
