This week sort of got away from me. I shot all the photos and even took good notes while I made this belt, but I haven’t been organized enough to put together the tutorial. Not that anyone is holding their breath, but I will do it soon.
The reason why I like this belt so much is because it is a patchwork belt that actually holds your pants up. I know. Shocking…. The base material is a very sturdy cotton webbing and the d-rings are also quite hefty. There are a few good tutorials out there for patchwork belts (I like this one in particular), but I couldn’t find a tutorial for a d-ring belt that combines fabric and webbing. If you skip the patchwork and just use one cut of a favorite fabric, you can finish up one of these babies in a flash. I made two for my boy this way. I know it looks simple (because it is) but it took me three tries before I got this right. Hopefully others can learn from my stupid mistakes.
we can wait. 🙂
i have not worn a belt since the birth of my third child (10 1/2 years ago), but if I did wear a belt it would look like that one! If only those boys of mine were younger – then i’d have an excuse to make one.
Oh cute. I wanna make a million. I always like your header on your blog.
I do have a question, I don’t need the all tutorial but I wonder what kind of needles you use, Do you have to use a super thick one? of super thick thread?
This belt is beautiful… I am staring.
