Third Buckle/Strap

[Paul Henry]

Thanks Chas, you are right! I didn't look close enough, mine have the same fringing from top to bottom, oops, my mistake! I should have know this already!!!

So, what is the best way to remove the strap and buckle? I also have belt loops, is there proper way to remove them as well? I do have a sharp pointed thread picker that tailors use, will that work?

Thanks,

A thread picker is fine,generally better that scissors for this sort of thing, but you still have to be careful not to catch threads on the face of the fabric.

For the belt loops, sometimes the loops will have been sewn into the waistband, that makes it a little harder as you might have to unpick some of the waistband as well. It's all perfectly straightforward, just go slowly and patiently!
