The best way to do this is with a jig. I have one made out of an old plank of wood and some screws, but I believe it's possible to find appropriates ones online if you're willing to spend the money.<br /><br />You only need to keep the spine strands tight while actually weaving; once you've woven a row and tightened it down, releasing the tension on the spine strands shouldn't cause the weave to loosen (unless perhaps it gets shaken around or something). So it's possible to weave without a jig as long as you can figure out a way to apply even tension to the spine strands while working. For example, I sometimes tie the other end of the spine to a rod and push it away with my feet. It's a bit awkward, but it's doable.<br /><br />The only other possible problem that I can think of is that the cord you're using might not be ideal for weaving with? Perhaps it's too stiff or slick?<br /><br />I hope that helps.

I took a rectangle of leather the width of the finished belt and about 8cm long and folded it in half over the edge of the belt so that it was 4cm long. This covered the edge and I handstitched this to the belt. It finishes the edge off and also makes it easier to fit through the buckle.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03815992105415686563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381757073069411946.post-38072764342065731932015-07-03T14:34:16.564+04:002015-07-03T14:34:16.564+04:00As mentioned in the post I didn't finish that ...As mentioned in the post I didn't finish that belt because I realised the buckle was too small for the belt to fit through, however I have pictures of a finished belt here: http://soulsamurai.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-derweesh-belt-mark-i-no1.htmlSoul Samuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15696362763135745716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381757073069411946.post-83024956678602302002015-06-11T19:04:34.102+04:002015-06-11T19:04:34.102+04:00Where is the pic of the complete belt finishedt???...Where is the pic of the complete belt finishedt???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381757073069411946.post-89432093706075841342015-04-08T07:41:26.267+04:002015-04-08T07:41:26.267+04:00the title was the best part. :)
