Holiday Hip
by Tana March
What You'll Need |
Instructions
- Measure your hips wherever you want your belt to lie. Add three inches.
- Cut denim, scarf and Stitchwitchery to this length by 5 inches width. If your fabric or scarf isn't long enough, just add a panel to the center.
- Pin Stitchwitchery to the backside of denim and use sewing machine to tack it down.
- Good sides facing, pin the scarf to the denim. Use your sewing machine to stitch along three sides with a 1/2" seem allowance.
- Trim the excess.
- Turn fabric right side out and iron flat on a high setting. Be sure to iron on the denim side or you'll burn your scarf!
- To set the Stitchwitchery, cover denim with a damp cloth. Place a hot iron along the entire length of the belt, holding for 10 seconds in each spot.
- Use your sewing machine's zigzag setting to serge the unfinished edge closed. Repeat until the entire edge is covered with thread.
- Zigzag the other finished edge for continuity.
- Mark the position for 4 grommets at each end of the belt and insert per instructions on grommet kit.
- Trim left over scarf to string the belt together.
