Practice Belt For Myself

[Nightwolf]

This is my first complete belt from start to finish, cut the strap from a double shoulder and everything. This will hopefully be my last unlined piece of work....my antique singer 201-2 showed up earlier, just need to set it up this weekend.

Constructive critism is always welcome (I'll post if over on that forum too)

I will admit this was a big learning experience for me. I didnt fully understand the importance of knowing the pattern flow when I started, and it didnt become apparent to me until I was using the swivel knife....not certain if that will show without seeing the whole belt at one time, but I will not make that mistake again.

I think it looks nice. I would try to clean your beveling up as too make it not look as choppy on the outer part of your piece.

Nice Job.
