It’s not breaking news that belts are hot accessories. For a few seasons now, we’ve been fastening them over jackets, blouses, and sweaters. But I bet you never thought about knotting your own from cord. The final effect is fresh and different, and the process is a blast.
Just channel some macramé skills from days of yore, and knot, knot, knot. This belt from Quick Stuff to Sew, Vol. 1 looks great slung low-think studied nonchalance-and with the fringe ends dangling over one hip.
