Stockings for every woman are a unique opportunity to feel like a real lady. At first, the purpose of the belt was to support the stockings. But over time, they began to make stockings with a silicone base, which fits perfectly on the leg. Belts now, fulfilling the task of holding stockings, have the additional function of decorating the female body.
It is not necessary to buy an important attribute. If you want to emphasize your femininity and surprise your loved one, we offer you a tip on making a belt with your own hands.
Materials and tools to do the job
To make a belt we need to prepare the following.
- Guipure.
- Elastic material.
- Decorative elastic band for linen.
- Scissors, thread, needle.
Constructing a pattern
To obtain a high-quality result, it is necessary not only to prepare all the necessary materials. It is important that the product exactly matches the parameters of its owner.
Taking measurements
When sewing a garter belt, pay special attention to taking measurements.This will determine how correctly the accessory will be sewn.
It is necessary to take measurements in the very morning, because after that your legs begin to swell a little.
In order to correctly determine the size of the product, you will need to take two measurements.
- Body circumference along the hip line: measure by the most protruding part.
- Body volume at waist: measured at the narrowest point.
How to build a pattern drawing
We invite you to familiarize yourself with the approximate construction of the pattern drawing. With its help you can make calculations for your own parameters.
The length of our product is 20 cm, the hips are 90 cm and the waist is 70 cm. On the sheet we draw a rectangle 20 cm long and 45 cm wide. The width of one side (front or back) is equal to the half-circumference of the waist, to which we add another 4 cm.
Keep in mind that there will still be elastic sewn into the belt. To make it a little stronger, you can stitch a strip of fabric from the wrong side.
Sewing a belt
Simple option
We offer you a description of how to make a guipure garter belt. This will take you a little time. And even a novice needlewoman can cope with such a task.
Making a garter belt pattern is quite simple. You don't even have to draw paper templates. To make a beautiful belt we will need 11*8 cm guipure. The canvas is cut in half diagonally. The result should be two triangles. After that, we sew them into one large triangle along the largest side. We need two such blanks.
- For the belt, it is better to choose guipure, which stretches very well, and make two blanks, as written above.
- Sew the blanks together, making sure that the corners match as much as possible.
- After this we sew on the elastic band.
- Next, we begin to make loops and fasteners to which the ribbons will be attached. You can buy such hooks at any craft store. Another option is to remove old underwear.
- After this, try on the belt to make sure it fits well. If necessary, close it down a little.
- We sew on four hooks, and the belt can be used for its intended purpose.
Practical model
If you want to make a belt not for decoration, but a more practical one that will hold your stockings well, then there are several recommendations for you.
- In this case, a pattern is required. Therefore, you need to make belts on paper.
- Cut out the paper blank.
- Transfer the drawing to dense material. In this case, guipure alone will not do. The belt is sewn from two parts - the lining and the guipure that will be on top of the belt.
- First you need to sweep away all the blanks, and then stitch them on a typewriter.
- As in the first option, we sew on elastic bands and attach fasteners to them.
This completes the process of making a garter belt. If desired, it can be decorated with satin bows or decorative elements.
Now you can definitely make a belt for your new lace underwear with your own hands and surprise your loved one. This will take you a little time. But if you were already interested in the cost of the belt, then you can confirm that your needlework will significantly save the family budget.
With a little imagination, you can make a real work of art that no one else will have. In addition, original work is always valuable. Creative success to you!
