Upcycle DIY your very own leather wrap belt that makes any unfitted shirt or dress into a flattering fit by defining the waist. You’ll learn how to custom make this belt to hug your own curves.
You just need a walking foot (so the leather won’t stick to the presser foot), leather needles for the machine, and heavy-duty thread. I used a quilting thread but a little Google search will tell you that bonded nylon thread is the way to go with leather projects. Of course you will also need a used leather jacket to upcycle. It is the perfect use of a jacket or pants that might be worn along the cuffs/seams but is otherwise in good shape.
This belt is so versatile – can be tied 5 different ways:
1. twist and tie
2. center bow
3. center knot
4. side knot
5. side half-bow
