The Corset Belt
The corset belt goes together in a flash. Simply cut 2 of each piece, mirrored. Attach them like you see below, folding the seam allowance toward the back of the belt and top-stitching into place. At the center back seam, I press the seam allowance outward for the sake of symmetry.
Do the same with the lining and then attach the two, faces together, with a length of ring ribbon sandwiched in between along each center front edge. Sew around the perimeter, leaving about 3″ open somewhere to turn it right side out. Clip your seam allowance at the corners, flip right side out, and edge-stitch around the entire belt.

Alternative Suggested Fabrics:
The Chainmail Clutch
The chainmail clutch goes together even faster than the belt! Simply lay your rectangle of chainmail on a flat surface. I made mine about 35″x20″, but you can make yours bigger or smaller depending on your clutch size and how much overhang you’d like.
Get a flat, rectangular clutch and spread some E6000 on one side. Place a little less than halfway down your chainmail, leacing 1/2″ on one side, like you see below. Add some glue to the opposite side and fold your chainmail over. No glue needs to be placed on the bottom of the clutch, that way the chainmail remains loose so your bag can still open.
Lastly, glue the small 1/2″ edges of chainmail onto the sides of your clutch.
Purchase Materials Used Below:
- 1 piece Mood Exclusive Rose Gold Tubular Chainmail Fabric
- 1 tube E6000 Craft Adhesivve
The Fanny Pack
This fanny pack is a bit more complex, but it’s so worth it.
Sew your upper sides to either side of your zipper. On the closed end of your zipper, sew your lower side to the upper, short edge to short edge. I top-stitched this into place for some extra security.
Pin and sew the sides to the front oval of your bag, folding back the raw edge of your lower side to overlap slightly over your zipper pull.
Create two back straps and stitch them onto the back oval of your bag. Add the back portion onto the sides of your fanny pack and it’s ready to slide onto any belt in your wardrobe!
Purchase Materials Used Below:
- 1/2 yard Black Faux Leather Diamond Quilted Coating
- 1 Mood Exclusive Italian Large Gold Round Metal Zipper Pull
- 1 Italian Bumblebee Applique with Beads and Rhinestones
- Flat Rectangular Clutch
The Applique Earrings
These earrings are beyond easy, and can look super chic with one of Mood’s beaded appliques, or absolutely adorable with their endless patches.
Simply sew earring hooks into the top of each applique. Trace your applique or patch onto your swatch of felt, cut the felt out and use a little E6000 to glue the felt onto the back of your piece. This provides a bit more stability and cleans up the back of your patch if it has any threads or adhesive showing.
Purchase Materials Used Below:
- 2 Cream Black and Gold Beaded Rhinestone Appliques
- 2 swatches Ivory Acrylic Felt

2 Earring Hooks

Wow, the earrings look stunning! Thank you for the inspiration.
Thank you! 🙂
Courtney, your patterns and tutorials are always amazing. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. 🙂
Thank you so much!! I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful as well. 🙂
Hi. I think there is a problem with rhe file’s name. I have to rename it to be able to download.
thanks for all your wonderful patterns. Love the large size range and the variety.
Awesome!! Many thanks!! I’ll have fun making these!
Love these patterns – a question about the sizing for the belt – does it follow standard pattern sizing for measurements or is there a waist size measurement comparison I should be looking for – ex How many inches is size 16/18? (I never trust pant sizing since they can change from store to store lol)
Hi, Amanda! This belt follows the size chart that we use for all of our patterns, so you should be good to follow the waist measurement there! 🙂
Hi…do we need boning for belt?
Hi, Janii! It’s not required, especially if you’re using a thicker fabric for yours, but you can absolutely add it to the seams for some extra stability if desired! 🙂
Hi! Love the belt pattern, is the sewing allowance included in it?
Yes, a 1/2″ seam allowance is already included! 🙂
What is the seam allowance for the Adonis belt? Can you also share the size chart?
Hi MJ, we’re sorry for the delay in responding to your question! We get dozens of comments and questions each day, and so many questions get buried and, unfortunately, unanswered. We are now focusing user support on patterns 2 years and newer. We hope this will prevent questions on our more current patterns from going unanswered. Although this is late, we wanted to respond in case anyone else has the same question: The seam allowance is 1/2″! Our current size chart is located on our newer patterns as well.
How do I get the pattern files to download? Is it still available? When I click the PDF icon is gives an error. Clicking anything else sends me back to the blog.
