Now it took me awhile to finish this belt. I cut, considered, put it away to work on other immediate costume needs, pulled it out, sewed, had to alter it twice to adjust for wieght loss and gains during the whole "get er du" process then decided to fix it so that I could do my wieght gain and loss yo yo thing without having to make major adjustments. It worked out. I thank "Alia" for the inspirations in certain places....she is the Bestest ever seamstress! BUT i did do all the work myself!!!! LOL.
