Tutorial: Removable adjustable waistband belt for toddlers

by

Call Ajaire Toddler Belt Babyville Products to BeltThis toddler belt by Ajaire from Call Ajaire is brilliant!   Instead of wrapping around the waist, this little elastic belt wraps around the back three belt loops, cinching it in at the back without affecting the look of the front.  Think of it as a removable adjustable waistband.  Now any pair of toddler pants with belt loops can have an adjustable waist.  Like I said, brilliant!  And it’s easy to make, too, using just three materials – foldover elastic, plastic snaps, and a snap setter. She shares a video tutorial how to make one. Go to Gall Ajaire to see how to make it.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
