#diy belt

[fastwiemagie]

Inspired by Mai Magi (is she no longer on tumblr? couldn't find her) and my friend from insta (mosscoveredtroll) I made my own braided belt reccently! I started simple by doing a standard braid with 3 main strands (4 strands per "strand" though) and used this pretty bronze gold belt buckle I've got from a bargain bin ages ago. Finally it's time to shine has come!!

Making the belt was so much fun, I immediately made another one for my dear friend Meg's birthday present and already plan already on making another one for a craft swap with my dear friend @wuselwesen.

[id]Pic 1 & 8 are full body shots which incoorperate the finished braided black belt into an outfit. A fat, white, young seeming woman with long brown hair worn over one shoulder and glasses is wearing a berry-coloured dress. The dress is loose-fitting, and as such nicely accentuated with the braided black belt. She's wearing a berry-coloured bandana in her hair, with white lace edging. A black scarf, black leggins and black shoes tie in the black belt. A berry and orange patterned kimono-inspired jacket finishes the whole look!

Pic 2-7 show progress pictures of how the braided belt was made.

Pic 2: show the single strands of the belt being prepared and hung over a chair in the meantime

Pic 3: The beginning of the braids: the strands of shirt-yarn are being knotted to a bronze-coloured key (wait? a key?)

Pic 4: We see a finished black belt with a key buckle, which you use to tie the belt up.

Pic 5: But what's that?? More belt buckles?? (including the one seen in the full body shots.) Wait a moment... might these pictures reveal something?

Pic 6: Alas, the first belt turned out too small and the belt being worn in the outfit is actually the second belt! Surprise! They are very similar, one belt just has a key belt buckle and the other a D-shaped belt buckle. And of course the second one is longer (though you can't really tell, as it's wrapped around a bottle in the picture)

Pic 7: Apparently a braided bracelet has been made from scrap material! Also conveniently modeled on a water bottle.

Quick zipper sleeves vest update-

Put on the back patch from my old vest and I’ve started mocking up the smaller patches and placing pins so it’s not totally empty.

Also thrifted a belt which I turned into a spiked cuff:

There are two ends with o-rings on them left so I’m thinking of placing them along the shoulder seams like this for decoration:

I have lots of patches I wanna get on here but figuring out the layout is tricky! Anyways that’s where things are at

I made a belt pouch from old jeans and scrap fabric today c: very much inspired by @coveredinredpaint bc the second I saw their pouch (in this post) I was so motivated to make my own 🦇

#it's so cool how many things you can make with old scrappy stuff #i also figured the back pocket would work nicely as a little extra pocket #only the flap turned out shorter than i would like. but other than that I'm v pleased #excited to wear this on a belt when I'm wearing a dress or skirt without pockets #mine #diy #handmade #crafts

Question about diexie dai (belt)

I received the following question from @aarghc about diexie dai. As I'm not familiar with belt construction, perhaps some other readers might be able to provide insights?:

I'm trying to understand the structure of 蹀躞带 dié xiè dai belts. There are many pictures where the hanging straps are clearly one layer, but here (https://fuckyeahchinesefashion.tumblr.com/post/664758617722994688/%E8%B9%80%E8%BA%9E%E5%B8%A6-di%C3%A9-xi%C3%A8-dai-by-cromartie) and other places where you see them hanging pouches from the belt, the hanging straps are 2 layered. From a modern construction perspective it would make sense for there to be snaps on the hanging straps to attach to the pouches but if not, then it looks like it's just friction holding the pouches to the belts? That's now how I'd like to secure my wallet. 8-) Might you or your readers have any insights on Chinese utility belt construction? 8-)

Me, too many projects? Nah

Anyways, before the new year I drew a concept for a utility belt I wanted to make out of an army coat, and today I've pinned together all the components. Already had the wallet looking thingie and the lighter fabric pouch with the thigh strap.

I made studded cuffs!

I had an old Hot Topic belt that didn’t fit me anymore (is it just me or is the sizing there kinda funky?? BAD funky) and I cut it up into these!

I don’t have snaps, nor did I want to buy any (fuck Amazon and the Micheals that’s 30 minutes away from me!!), so I just used good ol’ fashioned hot glue. It was……….an experience. If you’re thinking of doing the same, glue the ENDS of the cut out segments together, and cut off enough to wiggle your wrist outta them!!

Super fun experience, totally recommend if you’re cheap

Meet new sewing pattern <Kaede> Utility apron / Tool belt

A new item is just released from Waffle Patterns. Meet Utility apron / Tool belt <Kaede> sewing pattern. You can choose a bib apron type or tool belt with many useful pockets and functional parts!

Please freely mix and combine the design options as you like and make functional gear for sewists, gardeners, carpenters, makeup artists, florists, or all cool creative workers!

<Design options>

View A is an apron type with a bib and the apron is slightly longer than View B. The bib pocket has a layer and pen holder. There is a large layered pocket on the center of the apron and useful cargo pockets, zipper pockets, and hanger loops are on the side parts.

View B is a tool belt type with belt loops, and slightly shorter than View A. The center pocket has one more layer for the artist tool pocket where we can store brushes, seam rippers, or any other stick-shaped equipment. It features belt loops&belt. you can make a belt for this or use a belt you already have. Also, it can be changed to View A type of belt.

My personal favourite is the detachable tool pocket. If you want to make this, please attach the hunger loop or belt loops/belt for attaching it.

Please mix and match the options for your design intention and materials.

<fabric recommendation>

The pattern is drafted for woven fabrics. Mid-heavy weight durable fabrics like duck, twill, denim, linen, or canvas will be suitable.

Some very thick/stiff fabrics might not be suitable for details like double folded edge or flap etc, because of the thickness of fabric layers. Please consider proper finishes for your material or try to use a contrast fabric for some parts.

I partly used folded nylon tape instead of the double folded pocket opening edges on the sample. Depending on the fabric, maybe this is a good option for the hem, too. Also, I used a contrast fabric for the facing on the gray sample and skip interfacing on some parts, because the shell is quite stiff.

The salmon pink sample was made with mid-weight cotton duck, I made other workwear series with this like Anzu or Azuki. I bought it at local traveling fabric market years ago. Since the construction is like chambray or dungaree, similar fabrics may be found in coloured denim section.

The gray sample is a teflon-coated outdoor fabric. It’s a bit stiff for clothing but perfect for this item. This fabric is also from my local fabric market years ago.

I want to make another one with oil clothes, raw denim or nylon ripstop if I can find nice fabric.

<Other material>

The samples are using durable webbing tape for the belt and neck straps etc. Those tapes and parts like adjusters are sometimes found in bag making material section at stores. If you cannot find perfect materials, make the tape from a shell or contrast fabric of the same width.

<Size>

3 sizes XS/S, M/L, and XL/XXL are available. As for choosing your size, I recommend referring to the finishing measurement, too. I think some people like to use a tool belt of a smaller size. In that case, please choose a smaller size, then adjust the length of the belt and neck strap to fit your body. If you use the apron over jackets or outers, a larger size will be the option. Since the pattern is quite flat, those are suitable for men, too. The length might be too short. If you want to lengthen, off-setting the hem is the easiest way.

Thrifted goth belt colllection

Because why not, I seem to be slowly but surely posting pics of all the stuff I manage to thrift.

I never really wore belts at all until a year or so ago, but decided I'd like to start. Goth friendly belts turn up in charity shops surprisingly often and they're always cheap. I found a lace up one last weekend and like a dumbass I didn't get it. By the time I decided to go back for it, it had already been sold.

This one was actually from a car boot sale and was 20p. I really need to wear this more often because I love it!

Zip up elasticated one with studs.

Another elasticated one, but on this the elastic is threaded through these metal plates.

Studs, eyelets and sequins. I may remove the sequins as I'm not especially keen on them, but I still think this belt is beautiful.

Various others with studs and eyelets. I find these every single time I go into a charity shop. Always worth getting, particularly if you're into crafting as they can be repurposed into collars, bag straps, harnesses if that's your thing, used to embellish another piece of clothing like a jacket. Whatever you like!

Jacket update :)

Been sitting on this a bit but!!! I did it! Transgender House of Wolves backpiece........

Some notes!

> Used an extra trans flag I got at a previous Pride!

> The pink fabric/gums are actually that band at the waist of an old hoodie, and unintentionally had a really neat lettuce-ruffle effect when I cut it. I feel like it makes it look fleshy.

> Fangs were hand sewn! In fact almost all of this was, just the top and bottom of the flag being sewn by machine (and later covered up by various fabric layers anyway). Also the chipped tooth was unintended (underestimated how much material I had there) but I think it's charming :)

> Belt was from a yard sard that I've had since middle school HAHA, I thought it would be aesthetically more pleasing if I separated the wings from the wolf mouth? I was careful to save some for later as well, if I want to implement it somewhere else.

> Also. Only stitched the ends of the belt to the jacket. The rest is nuts and bolts LMFAOO could NOT be bothered (but ties in nicely with the wings and other places I've used bolts! Metal detectors hate me.)

> Text was largely free handed with marker! I did have stencils (?) I drew out on paper, but not like cut outs -- the flag material was thin enough to trace and free hand the rest. Also, the text is meant to mimic the fonts seen in the lyric pamphlet! Because it was freehand, I did make a mistake on the N and covered it up with embroidery.

^ Progress pic that shows off concepts and references!

ALSO.

Added a bolt and a hair elastic as a clasp for the Extra Pockets on the sides!!! This actually makes them functional now!!! I can put pliers and scissors and Stabbing Tool (a dart I cut the aerodynamic bits off of) what have you in them AND nothing falls out when I yank it off and toss it aside YIPPEEEEEE!!! 🎉🎉🎉

The funniest part of all of this is that, this humble windbreaker, is now about as hefty and weighty as a leather jacket after all the mods and shit I've stored in the pockets. All five of them (there is a secret pocket as well 👀)

#my transition goals include 'guy who has fucking everything in his fucking pockets'. btw. #do you need a knife? ibuprofen? tweezers? lighter? bandaids? nail clippers? i've got you. hold on. #also i hope the skull belt is giving cartoon emo and not nazi shit 🤢 #thank god i'm so fucking forgetful like. i thought the skull and crossbones studs were THE SICKEST SHIT #and then i forgor. to buy some. and then i learned it was a nazi symbol like okay. nevermind. #but like again i've had the belt since middle school it is a kids belt and also black parade death imagery and cartoon emo ect #and also just. vaguely gestering to the rest of the jacket and just all of me in general. like. #i hope people can look at me and think 'yeah he's fine. just a little weirdo about it' LMFAOOOO #anyways!!! happy pride!!! i'm still wearing this in june and nothing will stop me!!! not even heatstroke!!!!! YAAAAY 🩷🩷🩷 #my projects #diy punk #mcr
