What a waist!

I made Bob a new belt today, he needed something called a "mechanic's belt" for work. There are a few versions of the belt, but we went for simple and easy: Duct tape! Just kidding, we decided that a Velcro closure made the most sense, and seeing as I had four coupons to Joanns from our grocery store, it seemed like a good match. My sewing machine is doing much better after oiling it on the advice from a coworker , so I was able to make him the belt from start to finish in one hour. We picked out two straps that matched Nissan's colors ( the one in the back is a solid red nylon, and the one in front is cotton with a black, grey and red stripe), and I sewed one on top on the other for extra strength. The Velcro is sewed on separately so that I didn't overtax the machine. Overall, we are both pretty happy with the belt, and I might make more with a few tweaks!
