How to Make Fabric Buttons
Custom fabric buttons are easy to make and kits are commonly sold in all major fabric stores, sewing supply companies, and Wal-Mart for $3-5. You can also buy them online. We used a lovely kit for ours made by Armommy which is a basic fat quarter. You can make your own by tracing out 1 1/2-2 1/2 inches each on any fabric of your choice. The white plastic guide is included in your kit.
You will need:
scrap fabric
metal blanks
plastic press and form (white and blue pieces)
Since the fabric is what's going to be the most important part of the button, that should be gathered first. These were all base patterns printed out from ther Armommy pattern set. You could technically make them from everything, like an old AC/DC shirt or a hand-me-down set of pants. Each button kit should have a rough size for you to cut out. One inch, one and a half inches, three inches; something along those lines. Cut out a circle, or rough circle, of that size.

Fabric Belts (Stiff Enough to Hang Things From)
Fabric belts are pretty easy to make, and I'll show you how to make them stiff enough to support bags, knives, mugs, or whatever else you can think of. Want to make interchangeable bags to hang from your belt? I've got you covered: http://www.instructables.com/id/Interchangeable-Utility-Belt-BagsPouches/
You will need:
Fabric for the shell of the belt (can be two different colours; then it's reversible!)
Fabric for interlining (you may omit this if your shell fabric is heavy and stiff)
Ultra-stiff sew-in interfacing/stabilizer (you may omit this if you don't need your belt to bear weight)
Something to secure your belt - a clasp, a large D-ring, etc.
Optional: 1-inch D-rings
If you are going to use a normal belt buckle, you will also need:
A leather punch
A belt buckle of the appropriate width
Note: If you buy things from Jo-Ann Fabrics, always use the coupons! I never pay full price there.
Plus normal sewing things: thread, scissors, pins, measuring tape or ruler, pen/pencil/chalk, etc.
For inserting the interfacing, you will also need a hand-sewing needle and a cork, rubber eraser, or similar item.

how to gather fabric
Gathering fabric is really simple on a sewing machine! Much easier than doing it by hand with a running stitch, and also easier to control. I guarantee you'll know how to gather fabric in no time! :D
a sewing machinea piece of fabrica ruler (if you're wanting to gather it to a certain size)You can do this on any sewing machine because all you need is a straight stitch! I am using my slightly terrible Brother than I have worked nearly to death. You will notice the tension is not quite right in the photos. At the beginning of this year it decided it didn't want to do much of anything right, especially when it involves sewing through a single sheet of fabric. ;)
