My first leather project, a lifting belt.

Hello, I have never worked with leather before, but I wanted to give it a shot. Please be kind.

It’s a belt for olympic weightlifting with Bulgarian style buckle placement (to the side, for a bar path closer to the body). The outer layer is form red sude to match my lifting shoes.

Except for punch holes and sanding, I found the process quite enjoyable.

Edit:

Here is the template I made, it also includes forms for the belt loops. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mA8M4OcjBiNpkEpRsnnauaDaR8kvk2xL?usp=sharing
