Step 1
Measurements of your belt: Calculate the desired length for the Belt with the integrated flower as following: Measurement of waistband (once around) + 47” (122cm) (extra length for flower and closure of belt) Example: Waist measurement 28” + 48” = total length of belt: 76” (193 cm) Let’s say you want the belt to be 2.5” (6.3 cm) wide when finished. Double that measurement and add 1” (2.5 cm) for seam allowance and you know how wide to cut your fabric strip Example: desired width when finished: ( 2.5” x 2) + 1”= 6” ( 15.25cm) Result: We cut a fabric strip 76” long and 6” wide. TIP: if your fabric is not long enough or you only have scraps, simply attach several pieces together until your strip has the desired length
