[chuck dunfee]

remember the large watch wristbands we used to wear and the
homemade leather or macramed pieces of string we wore as
headbands? Or was this just a wierd local fad we had?

Who else sewed triangular sections of paisley pattern fabric into a slit
in the leg of their pants to make their bell-bottoms "extra cool" ;)

Also I was trying to remember the leather stores that were popular in
the late '70s here in So. Cal. They had everything you'd need to make
belts, change purses, etc.
Does anybody remember the name?

I remeber kids "sharing" bell bottoms that way. Each kid's mom would
take a slit of fabric from the leg and then "trade" with the other so
that each was then wearing a bit of the other's jeans. It was also a way
of lengthening bell bottoms that you had grown too tall for.

I don't know if this is the one, but there were Tandy Leather stores all
over the place with supplies, tools, and kits for making leather stuff.
(Tandy, as in the mother company of Radio Shack)
