How I Make A Belt.

[Leather by LOU]

@canadiangirl Yes the lining was pigskin. It was the first time I lined a belt. I left the edges 3/8" long on all sides and prepared with leather glue. After the glue dries it is ready to line up and sew.

@nrk dyes used were Tandy water based dye then hand painted with acrylic paint. Finished off with feibings spray wax and buffed.

@jus10 that is all a matter of preference. For comfort I usually bevel or round the belt edges. For this belt I didn't want to bevel the edges because I liked the look of the painted logos right up to the edge. Belts are definitely sold both ways. Some aren't even slicked! :-)
