1) I've been sewing again
2) I'm happy with the result
Inspired by the 'Mexican belt' pattern in Hanna Välitalo's book "Silmukoita, siksakkia ja pala suklaakakkua", I put together this - made from two cotton place-mats cut in half and sewn together, satin from my stash for lining, and velvet ribbon for tying up.
More than Mexican influence, this reminds me of Japanese kimonos...
As it's quite wide and sturdy, it feels almost like a corset when wrapped around your waist - good to keep up one's posture.
For some reason, this project was very hard on my neck and shoulders - I already started to make another one, but just couldn't continue. Working over the table, looking down and pinning fabrics together is not something my neck is willing to co-operate with today. Maybe tomorrow.

Ompas upea! Minullekin tuli enemmän japani mieleen kuin meksiko, värimaailmasta kenties? Toivottavasti pystyt pian jatkamaan ompeluhommia.
