Pin the ties (part 3) to the side of the belt (part 2) with the front side to the front side and stitch at a distance of 1 cm.
Iron the seam allowances.
Step 2
Pin the parts 2 to the parts 1 with the front side to the front side and grind at a distance of 1 cm, leaving on the right side open sections between the transverse marks for the cuts (note: symmetrical!).
Step 3
Iron the seam allowances, iron the seam allowances on the seamy side.
Fold outer and inner belt with seamy sides and chop.
Sew allowances at the edges of the cut manually.
Step 4
From faux suede, cut a trim strip 36 mm wide (if necessary, cut along an oblique).
Pull the tape through the device for making the tape and iron it.

Step 5
For better fixation, sew the inner and outer belt along the perimeter to the edge with the wrong side to the wrong side.
Each long edge of the belt should be edged with a tie.
Stitch the stitch in a large zigzag, while the allowance along the inner edge of the stitch can be laid out flat, then the thickness of the layers will become less and it will be easier to scribble.
Step 6
Carefully cut the margin on the inside edge of the inlay close to the stitch.
Step 7
Turn over the transverse ends of the ties: first, glue the grip so that it does not move at the corners, then sew it with a large zigzag, as described in steps 5 and 6.
