    I understand now. I was just kind of thinking about those belts that are brown on one side and black on the other side. You flip them over like two flashes in one. Thanks.

    I suppose that you could, but you'd have to have a join somewhere, and, if you wanted the backs and fronts to look equally good, you'd have to have the join on the edge, rather than in the center of the back. Short of sewing a tube and flattening it, I can't see how you'd easily hide the raw edge.

    It's so easy to make these, though, that you could make yourself two sets if you wanted to have two different looks to wear.

    Cheers,

    Barb

    Thanks Barb,

    I'm going to try your method this week. It looks far cleaner than what I've been dabbling in.

    Here's my cheap and dirty solution- scraps of tartan, pressed into shape, then placed in our heat press with small strips of wet suit seam tape.



    10 seconds on 200 degrees, then pick the weft out and trim the fringe.

    Cheers,

    Kevin.
