DIY: Elongate a tight fabric belt

Hi ladies, today I have a tutorial for you, this is a vintage belt I found at the thrift store, it's so pretty but it was too tight. After much thought I finally figured out what to do to make it work, here is the tutorial.
Here is the belt, too tight even after breathing in...
First I took the belt loop off.
Then I cut a piece of canvas fabric to the width of the belt.
Next I ironed some fusible interface to the canvas fabric and sewed it.
I put the end of the vintage belt inside the extension.
I stitched it together.
I put the belt loop back on, sewed it closed.
And now I have a pretty belt that fits. ^_^
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial! My style blog here.
