I love that idea as a beginner project! There's really only 3 seams you need to sew, and if you didn't feel confident making the pointed end as a new sewist, you could always just make it straight across, and then it's literally 2 seams. Easy peasy! Glad you enjoyed the tutorial!😊

Great tutorial, and your results from this method are so much better than mine. If you are willing to make a tutorial on making resin buckles I'm all eyes and ears. What I've done for belts (almost 30 years ago now) is different again as I was never pleased with my results from stuffing the belting into a tube. I folded over the edges of the fabric and tacked them to the belting, then edge stitched from the fabric side. I backed the belt with grosgrain ribbon hand stitched into place, including cutting the point into the ribbon plus a very narrow seam allowance to turn under. The buckle to cover was made by Dritz, also bought in the late '80s or early '90s, but I have no idea if this product is still around. It was a fairly stiff moulded plastic with a channel on the reverse, and the channel was meant to hold the seam allowance of the narrow sewn and turned fabric tube (no FasTurn in my toolbox yet). The punch I have has a threaded handle with several different cutting heads to insert - I don't remember what it was called. Position over the marking and push down on the handle: the screw threads turn the head and the result is a perfectly round hole of the desired size. I have the FasTurn set, bought decades ago along with just about every other sewing gadget available. I needed to make several metres of rouleau for knotted buttons and loops out of a vintage embroidered acetate satin from my mother's 1950s fabric stash. It was for a fancy suit for her, and I'd given up trying to turn the tubes the old-fashioned way - what a nightmare. There were shreddy bits all over the place, but no usable rouleau. Then I saw the set in my favourite shop, and it made the job possible, never mind easier. It's the only time I've used it, but it was still worth the purchase price.

Can't find this type of belting for the life of me - but I do have webbing for bag straps in my inherited stash. Do you think that would that work (covered in fabric)? I also tried using a white canvas/denim type fabric as sewing in interfacing but it wasn't quite stiff enough...
@tashacouldmakethat

I don't see why not! I don't know how thick it is, but you could conceivably double up if needed, and also interface the fabric, to get it a bit stiffer.

I've had a Google to find belting in the UK, but can't find any. Tasha, have you tried some of the alternative stiffeners you suggested? Or anyone else? Which did you find worked best?
@tashacouldmakethat
Жыл бұрын
I recommend a few things in the tutorial but you could try a number of options. I'm not sure anything but belting itself would be stiff enough to slide it into the casing, but you could certainly use the alternate construction method ( timestamp: kzitem.info/news/bejne/y6R63mmismedgXY ) with other stiffeners that you slide in. I've tried it with polyester horsehair braid which works nicely. It's a little prone to fall apart at the pointed end, so you could handle really careful or use a washable tape to keep the point in tact, or easily not do the point! (And if you cut the fabric on the bias, the horsehair braid stretches so it would flex with you a bit.) One or two layers of a heavy interfacing like they type you'd use to sew a bag would work in lieu of adding a stiffener, too.
@tashacouldmakethat
Жыл бұрын
Btw as a second thought: I’ve mostly seen BanRol as a product that’s a little less stiff. But I went down a rabbit hole and saw one sold in Australia that purported to be able to slip inside a belt casing like the method I used. You might be able to try that too! I swear if I could buy belting wholesale I’d sell it worldwide. 😆

I was talking about belt loops for the tail but I I don’t bother with thread carriers at the side either. I hang my belts on the hanger with my dresses and I don’t find belt loops make any difference in keeping the belt in place… if it wants to shift it’ll shift. And then I have to thread the belt in each time I wear it and unthread it after, so it’s not worth the bother to me.

@tashacouldmakethat
Жыл бұрын
I was just focusing on my favorite method so I don't typically use the second method. However it's pretty easy: if you are folding one long belt piece in half like I used in the tutorial, press both seam allowances in first along the long side. Then carefully fold it with right sides facing, and just sew the point like I show (marking 1/4" from the edge, etc). Then turn it out. Along the open end, just slip stitch shut or you can topstitch around the whole thing like I mention. I've seen more complicated ways to do that but I tried this way once and it was really easy, and I like easy. :)
