Step 1
so first, im making one with comics and vinyl as my outer fabric so imagine those as one…or use some awesome comics and clear vinyl to make your geeky boyfriend (okay and my geeky self) ecstatic. im also not using velcro and snaps as a closure but rather intalling gromets.

Step 2
You will need to measure around your waist where you want to center of the belt to sit or right around the middle of your torso. Add 5 inches to that number and that’s about how wide you will want your fabric to be. (additionally if you want part of the straps to be made out of the fabric and not just elastic then make sure you have some extra scraps) the fabric should be about 6 inches tall.
So fabric= (your measurement plus 5”) x 6” (and the same of the lining)
and im using 1/2" seam allowance
here is the fabric folded in half with the pattern drawn out (cut our through both layers, and do not cut the fold)
-
Step 13
now if you wish to create to partial strap instead of just elastic then follow the next few steps...if not, skip to attaching the straps (or elastic for straps)
cut out two each of the following shape in lining and fabric (sort of a rectangle with one side slanting outward to the bottom and 1/2" larger than elastic at each side on top)
-
Step 17
pin straps to outer fabric in place
if you wish to use velcro that is unseen as a closure (like i did in the black belt) attach now by sewing (all the way around) the loop side right side up to the lining 1/2" in from center side. on opposite side, pin the hook side of the velcro to lining with hooks facing away from lining (do not sew down, the edge with bee sewn into the seam and will come out of the seam attaching to the velcro on the inside of the belt)
id love to see yours if you try it
did you know that you can make it vinyl with a special iron vinyl , i think of that .
but i love yours very much.;-D
