Hi everyone! In this video, I go through 2 different methods on how to make fabric belts. The first method is the "modern" method that uses a commerically available belt buckle, fabric, and interfacing. The second method is a "vintage" method of making belt using a vintage belt and buckle kit from the 1960s.
For the vintage method, I also show a ~mindblowing~ method of sewing the fabric to get it encase the belting.

I love your vintage style!!!! And I found I had some extra broadcloth after hemming my vintage yellow dress!!! BELT in the WORKS! Thanks!

This was so helpful. When I made my buckle using a vintage kit, I used double sided carpet tape and it worked great.

@deborahborlase7100 Год назад

That vintage belting technique...you were so right, mind-blowing!!! Thank you for sharing this!

@jori7398 4 месяца назад

Very good tip! And 18:14 what a cute dress! Love it.

Thank you! 🥰💗

That was awesome. I loved how you used all those home tools to get the look you needed on those metal things ~I forgot the name already. Very creative

@bobbinsew Год назад

Love the first belt sewing method, what would make it even easier is to use water soluble thread so you don’t need to unpick the basting stitches! Nice job of setting the eyelets on the vintage belt, even with the dedicated tools they don’t always work out that neat!

@cheesepuffs8086 Год назад

That intro had me sold! I 100% do NOT want to turn a long skinny object inside out 😂

@gwenheng Год назад

Bahaha yes, I thought most people won’t want to!!!! 🤣

@jennylynnylulu5968 2 года назад

Was looking for a tutorial to sew a belt for a jacket and this is IT. Thank you! You've helped me immensely!

@gwenheng 2 года назад

Yay! I'm so glad! 💞

@olebatcsj Год назад

Great job of adlib with vintage materials. Three modern applications to consider to help camouflage the eyelets are same color perminant marker or fabric paint pen, alcohol ink, and nail polish. Although the nailpolish may scratch, I find it works better than model paints, which chip. Modern polish comes in so many colors too. Make some jewelry to match while you're at it.

The second vintage method is my favorite! I tried it and it turned out perfect .❤❤❤❤❤😊😊 thank you so much

@gwenheng Год назад

Yay!! I’m so happy to hear that ☺️

Hi Gwen, thanks for sharing these belt techniques. Very helpful and I appreciate your tutorial

@gwenheng 8 месяцев назад

I’m glad to hear this! You’re very welcome 💖

@christinecarter6836 2 года назад

You've inspired me to have a go at a belt even though I don't have a kit to work from. I love the sewn buckle holes when you don't have a metal ring, they looked really cute and vintage. Thanks for all your effort to make this video, it's very thorough.

@gwenheng 2 года назад

Yay!! Glad you found it helpful! 💓 I also found out that vintage buttonholers and modern computerised machine have the eyelet stitch that creates the eye for you!!

@rd6203 2 года назад

❤💚❤ Super cute belts! Thank you, Steven, for the assist!

@kristiheiser5012 2 года назад

Thank you for a great tutorial. I followed your vintage method using BanRol and mid weight linen with a prongless bakelite vintage buckle. I love the matching belt and outfit combo!

@gwenheng 2 года назад

Ooo BanRol is something I need to get into. Thank you for sharing your experience with trying this out!

@mayfair_forest_witch 2 года назад

Love your tutorial and love your personality! It's great that right at the beginning you say you are not going to be turning thin stripe inside out, I instantly knew it is going to be a great tutorial :D

@gwenheng 2 года назад

Hehehe I knew I'm not alone in hating turning small things inside out 😁✨

@candykane4271 Год назад

Looking to make a belt for my sister, at her request, we’re old ladies, I was once a superior seamstress and now, not as able, but I’m going to give this a try. I think I still have tools.

@annasebela1871 2 месяца назад

Whar if you dont have a sewing machine but still have to make this. 😳

@rebekkawacherhausenwichman236 2 года назад

So cute belts! Very informative too ❤️😊👍

@calilovebug3897 Год назад

Great video!❤ I will definitely try these methods.

@elizabethbabar5174 Год назад

Amazing! Going to try the vintage method with marine vinyl I bought for the belt base! 💕

@gwenheng Год назад

Ooo that sounds interesting! I have never heard of marine vinyl today. Have fun sewing! x

@versesincolor 2 года назад

Awesome infirmative video!!!! So glad I found your channel. 😊

@gwenheng 2 года назад

Yay! Glad to have you here!!! 🥰🥰🥰

@lw8186 8 месяцев назад

I wonder if fabric belts would last longer than those aweful store-bought pleather belts that break/wear out after a few months. There would be so many more color options as well! I think I might need to try this! :)

@RubyRudi Год назад

Thank you so much.

@lynneroute1202 Год назад

Thank you!

@bpaulsen6701 2 года назад

Thanks so much! I have a dozen of these 1960s belt kits. You're right, the directions are really cryptic. I'd have totally screwed them up, & my hair would've ended up in a pile on the floor, if you hadn't shown the extra steps. :)

@gwenheng 2 года назад

Yay glad this is helpful! Sometimes vintage sewing instructions is kinda like vintage recipes - they assume so much background knowledge!! 😂

@bpaulsen6701 2 года назад

@@gwenheng So true! I have my grandmother's Depression-era, handwritten cookbook. The directions are insanely vague, & you can't count on ingredients, like milk, for example, acting the way they did then. Lots of fussing trying to get it right, but well worth it, just like vintage sewing techniques. Thanks again for the save!

@angelicagrills7123 6 месяцев назад

Quick question. Could you convert a fabric tie style belt into one of these belts?

@zulemasanchez4133 2 года назад

Nice !

Could I use a lightweight interfacing for denim?

@gwenheng Год назад

Of course! If it's the non-stretchy stiff denim I'm thinking about, the outcome will probably be more stiff than my black belt but less stiff than my green belt. You can also try making a small mock up to see if you like the final stiffness. :)
