Corset Belt Tutorial...
I stumbled upon this pattern for a wide belt when I was trying to make a vest for my daughter. I made it out of an old skirt that was too big. It's great for all those flowy blouses and tunic dresses that need a little extra something!
*This belt works best with a thick material that has a little bit of stretch in it.

You Will Need
-
Step 1Start by measuring around your waist and deciding how wide you want your belt. Cut out your fabric out TWICE as wide as you want the belt, and length of your waist measurement, plus seam allowance. If you need to, you can sew two pieces together to get your desired length.
-
Step 2Fold over the edge of both sides of your fabric twice, pin,
-
Step 3and sew all the way down ONE side.
-
Step 4Then fold your unhemmed side over on top of the hemmed side, wrong sides together, and sew all the way down.
-
Step 5Fold under the edges of the two ends, pin, and sew strait down on both sides.
-
Step 6Then sew strait down the bottom side (where you folded over the fabric) to make it lie flat, and give it a more finished look.
-
Step 7Pin or mark with a fabric pen where you want your design to go. Sew along your marked pattern.
-
Step 8Measure and cut your lace (or other trim), and pin it to the belt, wherever you want it to go. Sew it on.
-
Step 9This is what you should have so far! Now just for the fasteners...
-
Step 10Then sew on your belt buckle (I found mine at a thrift store for 3o cents!). You will probably want to hand stitch them on with a needle and thread.
-
Step 11That's it! Ta-da! it looks great with the buckle in the back, too! I can't wait to find things to wear it with this fall!
-
Step 12...You can also use hooks and eyes if you don't have a belt buckle handy. Stitch them on by hand, like you would the buckle.
