Hello Everyone,

I have more questions.... I need more advice....

So, can anyone here give me some advice and guidance in creating coin belts? I believe the expertise of a jewelry maker would be needed to create a 100% coin belt. I need to go on a book buying frenzy for costumes, bras, skirts, etc. But I don't think there is much out there on coin belts.

Next, where are some good websites to find fabrics, sewing materials, coins, etc that are bellydance costume related? Our fabric stores in Manassas, VA aren't that culturally coordinated. It's mostly old world European looking things. I need to probably venture out into DC or Maryland (which is not far from me at all), but I want to see what the Internet has to offer.

Now, I need some advice on sewing too. It's been years since I took a class on sewing (and I learned by machine, lightly). I'm to the point of asking my grandmother to teach me.

So, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for books, VHS, online sources that give guidance in sewing. Or does anyone have some of these items you're willing to sell?

I posted a forum here not too long ago asking for resources on creating costumes, called "Major help in creating costumes." Thank you to everyone who contributed. The input made that forum a great resource for everyone. I will continue to take all the help I can get!!

Thank you SO much!
