Directions on how to sew a belt, a quick and easy sewing project

Measure your waist and add 4 inches. This will be the length of your fabric. Cut length of fabric and 3 1/2 inches wide. With your strip of fabric, fold right sides together and stitch along top and along side leaving one end open.



Turn right sides out and iron flat. Tuck the open end inward and sew closed. Tuck 1-2 inches in through your belt ring (see picture below).  Sew end.



You can also use 2 circle or D rings as pictured below but add 10 inches to waist length measurement.
