Kilt inspired Skirt (help please!)

[ali8780]

Look in the pet section for cat and small dog collars. You can usually get a couple matching leather ones for cheap. Target usually has a pretty good selection of ones with plain buckles (Walmart's usually say "Top Paw")

would I be able to sew them onto the skirt though?

PS thanks for the welcome back

Oh yah, I do it all the time. They only use one layer of leather for little collars, my sewing machine can typically handle a small job like this given the right needle. Hand sewing also works, use a thimble though!

If you're hand sewing, punch two rows of perhaps 4 holes in the leather. The Book has detailed descriptions for all the bits and pieces.



If you don't find buckles locally, Highand X Press has 3 sizes of buckle/strap sets.
