Lesson 3: Waist Cincher




Materials needed:

1. One to Two Types of Thick Fabric (Since you don't need much fabric for this project I usually save money by looking through the scrap bins at hobby stores)
2. Trim that goes Nicely with the Fabric

3. Large Brass or Silver Eyelets (These can be hard to find sometimes so you may have to ask someone at a hobby store)

4. Eyelet Kit (A lot of times the eyelets will come with a kit, if not make sure you get the right size kit to go with your eyelets)
5. Plastic Boning with Extra Fabric Attached (Also hard to find by yourself and you might have to get someone to cut it for you)
6. Strong cord or leather strip
7. Rubber Mallet or Plan Hammer(Rubber Mallet really does work best; found one in Wal-mart plumbing section for $6)
8. Seam Ripper
