burntcopperDoes anyone know where to get rivets? I'm making a leather skirt, which is basically a belt with overlapping strips hanging from it. (think gladiator/roman legionnary) Reckoned it would be easier to rivet it together rather than sew.
Of course, when I went into John Lewis, which *is* the god of habadashery supplies, there were plenty of eyelets, fasteners and so on, but no rivets. Looked on the Prym website, which is frankly shite - shows a tiny selection of their goods, no prices, and I can't see how to buy anything. The corset making websites only have eyelets. I need rivets. Even the type you use for jeans would be good. So, um, help? advice? have I been looking at the fasteners and discarding them by mistake?
:prods her pliers: hmmp. I may need to replace these, a bit of the plastic fit piece appears to have broken.
