Belt loops are sewn first as one long piece and then are cut into multiple pieces to attach to the garment. Cut a strip of fabric approximately 1½” (3.8cm) wide by 16″ (40.6cm) long. This will give you four belt loops. To make more, add 4″ (10.2cm) to the length for each additional loop. Finish one long edge of this fabric piece with a serger or zigzag stitch.
Fold the strip in thirds lengthwise, right sides out, with the unfinished edge folded underneath.
Topstitch along both edges of the loop. This type of loop is great for sewing into topstitched garments, like casual pants and jeans. Be sure to match your belt loop topstitching thread to the topstitching on the rest of the garment. Press. Cut into pieces for attaching to the garment.
