I’ve been busily doing some inventory, purchasing and redoing some packaging for the shop. I thought I would drop in with a little sweet update and some things you may not know about the Belt & Buckle Kits I offer at A Fashionable Stitch.
I was brainstorming another way of doing up the packaging and this idea was inspired by the delight I have in opening a sweetly wrapped gift. All the Belt & Buckle Kits now come in these sweet little boxes – which you can even gift to another sewing buddy or relative or recycle and reuse the sweet little box for something else, like bobbin keeping or such.
This also brings me to telling you just how great Fashionable Stitch kits are! Yay! If you’ve ever been a fan of vintage belt and buckle kits, you’ll know that sometimes they don’t end up making their way to you in the best of condition. My especial favorite is when the sticky transfer pattern is no longer sticky! Gah! Don’t fret – these kits here all have fresh new transfer patterns! My kits also feature some stellar eyelets and washers. These make such a difference in a professional looking belt. Remember this tutorial? You also receive a couple extra eyelets and washers for practice. Not to mention, there’s more belt backing in Fashionable Stitch kits than the vintage ones. You get a solid 50 inches which can make a 44 inch belt. And well, there you go! Lots of research, feedback and time have gone into making these kits great – I do hope you enjoy! Plus there’s a few belt making supplies on sale today. Don’t miss out!

Gail Ann Thompson - What charming boxes!!!
I love when care and personal attention is given to shoppers. It transforms a purchase, even a necessary purchase, into a pampering event.
Now, a question, a favor, a request: I want to make a “1954 to 1957-esque” Shirtwaist dress. Specifically; darted waistline, round collar, buttoned to the waist but NO placket down the front, side zipper, short and/or long sleeves, slim and/or gathered skirt. In short the very kind of dress, requiring your belt and buckle kit to complete it!!! Just to make this more difficult, my waist measurement is less then 35 and my bust measurement greater than 45.
Will you please make a suggestion??
