Dylan has been very long and very slender since birth. This can make fitting pants & shorts a challenge as those that might be the correct size for length are too big for his waist. And finding a toddler belt is also challenge. Thus, I was thrilled when I stumbled across a tutorial on another blog a few months ago - make happy: toddler/preschooler "i can do it!" belt.
During an afternoon nap I whipped up the belt and he's been proudly wearing it ever since. He loves that like Dada and Mama, he too has a belt. ;)
Supplies: 1" belting; 5/8" striped ribbon; D-ring (here I lucked out as I had 2 left from my nursing cover project when I was pregnant!); velcro; thread.
I've been looking for a toddler belt for my son, but never thought about making one. Thanks for sharing the link.
ReplyDeleteHow adorable. One of my daughters is very tall and slim so pants are a challenge for her too.
ReplyDeleteThat is just adorable! It makes him look so grown up! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this! My brother is 5 but he's soooo skinny that the 5T pants fall off of him, but if my mom gets him 3T (which fit in the waist), the legs are too short.
ReplyDeleteI am SO glad you posted this. Things are out of control with Curtis's pants, and I was going to ask you where this tutorial was again. But now I have it bookmarked! hooray!
ReplyDeleteToo cute! TFS. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy Dylan has the same problem. I discovered that if I buy most of his pants at Target, they have adjustable waistbands on the inside. It was a great discovery- especially for me! I'm rather time challenged when it comes to having time for crafts! :) Great idea though!
