So I decided to make a belt that I can wear non preggo too (since I am already dreaming of those days :) I am in love with bows, but I made this one so that it can be removed, or moved to the back if you want the bow in a different place. And it was super easy to make, which is always a good thing
I started with a strip of vinyl (faux leather) and made it 3 inches wide and long enough to wrap around me. Then I folded it in half width wise and sewed the edges. (this made it 1.5 inches wide when done) Tip when sewing with vinyl place a piece of tape on the bottom of the sewing foot and it will glide through much easier.
Then I slipped two D rings on one end and sewed the end over.
Lastly I sewed along the folded edge and now you have a belt. Simple and done... unless you want a bow.
I cut two rectangles one large, one slightly smaller.
Then I pinched them in the center and wrapped a thin strip around the middle.
I hot glued the edge down in back.
Then I used some embroidery floss to make two loops on the bow, to make sure it would fit on the belt I looped it right around the belt. Don't sew to the belt though, then you are able to move the bow, or take it on and off.
Then you are done. With a cute new belt.
To wrap around your growing belly... (26 weeks) or to be worn at any other time.
