Dying Dilemma Additional 2026 Part 1

Dying Dilemma Additional 2026 Part 1

I was gifted a Hip Scarf Coin Belt. Unfortunately I Ripped it when taking it off. I need to mend it before using again.

Damaged Hip Scarf











I Damaged the Scarf whilst taking it Off as the Ties were too Short. I will have to deal with that later.

Ripped Off







When I finally got the Scarf undone one of the Gold Coins got Ripped Off.

Missing Gold Coin











Luckily I found the Missing Gold Coin on the Floor.

Need Gold Beads











I am going to need some Gold Beads to Repair the Scarf. I have found 2 but need a third.

Dying Dilemma 2025 Part 16

After finishing off adding the Beads and Sewing them on. I came across another problem.

6mm Gold Beads











I was running Low on Beads therefore I went on Bead hunt. Unfortunately the only ones that I could find in Gold were 6mm.

Sorting Beads 











Before I can continue I need to see exactly how many Beads of which Size I have.

2 Large Gold Beads










Since I have so many packs I decided to make some that had 2 Large Gold Beads.

3 Gold Beads











After a trip to my friend the lovely Laura she told me that if I put a Large Bead on the Bottom then a smaller one above it will look like a Teardrop at a distance. With this information I began to add 3 Gold Beads all of different sizes.

Back of Belly Dancing Skirt











With all the Beads and Coins Sewn on this is how the Skirt now looks.

Front of Belly Dancing Skirt











Here is the Front of the Belly Dancing Skirt. I am so proud of what it looks like now compared to how it started. Of course it isn’t perfect. I got reminded of this when I wore it and realised I had forgotten to cut off the Tails from the new additions.
