Things I would do differently:
1.I made the basic belt too wide. I would aim for something much narrower next time. When I'm wearing it, I have to fold it over to get it to fit without gaping at the top.

Yes Dessah, it is a sort of riff on the fanny pack. My sister pointed that out too, when she saw it.
