I'm off to Birmingham in a few hours, it's a rockabilly
all-dayer and I'm having a stall with Dolly Cool Clare.
Hope she can stand 14 hours straight with me. :))
And here's what I got at the fabric shop the other day.

Black elastic band with silver threads.
The man in the shop was so generous with his measurement
so I got enough elastic to make two belts. The belt buckles are
from my local haberdasher.
I made these the other day.

Buttons, they do look old and I believe they were deadstock,
the owner get his stock from all over the place, a lot of fabric
comes from the fashion houses when they are out of season.
