DIY Fabric Belt for Toddler

1.  Wash, iron and cut your fabric and grab a set of 1" d-rings.  I used one piece of fabric 1 3/4" X 44" long for a 21.5" belt.  It's a little small though.  If you need a bigger belt your fabric won't be wide enough, so cut two equal pieces an inch longer then you want your belt to be.



2.  I ran the fabric through a bias tape maker and ironed, which is a little $5 doo-dad that does this:

but you can just iron both sides in 3/8".  It's hard to keep it even which is why a bias tape maker is nice.



3.  Now roll a piece of fusible tape down the inside and iron in place.  If you're using two pieces, do this to both of them.



4.  For my one long piece I folded it in half and placed the d-rings in the middle.  If you are using two pieces of fabric skip this step.



5.  I pinned the edges of both sides together.  If you're using two pieces do the same.



6.  At the raw end, trim the corner:

and fold to the inside, iron and pin.



6.  Sew in place all the way around.  You're done!  If you're using two pieces, fold one end over your d-rings and sew in place, now you're done.
