I never saw gingham bells. I made a pair of red velvet bells and a long vest for a friend. Even used polyester double knit to make bells with matching tunic tops for myself.

In the 60's my mom made many dresses, shorts, pedal pushers and crop tops (remember those?) for us with the gingham checkered fabric. In every color.
