Jeremiah created a product to solve the problem of needing a belt for shorts that are too big. He designed shorts that have a built-in belt by cutting slits in the shorts and sewing a belt through them. The most difficult parts of the project were finding time to work on it and learning how to properly attach the belt. In the end, the built-in belt worked as intended and provided an easier way to wear shorts that are too big.

How to Make and Install a Window Curtain
If you have basic sewing knowledge and access to a sewing machine, you can make a simple curtain in a short
amount of time. Curtains make a big difference in the "look" of a room, adding color and style to your decor.
Once the curtain is made, it's easy to hang it just where you want it. With these simple step-by-step
instructions, you can: (1) measure your window and purchase the appropriate type and amount of fabric; (2)
sew a simple curtain; and (3) install the curtain on your window.
Equipment and Supplies
As in any project, it helps to know what equipment and supplies you are going to need before you get started.
To make the curtain, you will need the following some equipment and supplies.
First, you'll need the following tools:
tape measure
paper and pencil
calculator
work table
iron and ironing board
Also, you'll need these sewing items:
sewing machine in good working order
scissors
pins
material
thread
fabric marker
To install a curtain inside the window frame, all you will need is a spring-tension curtain rod. To hang the
curtain on the wall outside of the window frame, you will need these items:
tape measure
pencil
cafe-style curtain rod and its brackets
screw driver
screws or molly bolts
drill
level
Preparing to Sew the Curtain
You're probably ready to start sewing right away, but there are some preliminary things you need to do first.
Note: Since the size of the window determines the amount of material you will need, measure the window
before you buy the material.
Before you can sit down at your sewing machine and begin to sew, you must:
1. Decide what type of curtain rod you want to use.
2. Measure the window.
3. Purchase the curtain fabric and rod.
4. Cut the curtain piece out of the fabric.
Deciding what type of curtain rod to use. A simple curtain can be hung with a cafe-style curtain rod or a spring-
tension rod. Mounting a spring-tension rod does not require any hardware and installs the curtain inside the
window frame. A cafe-style curtain rod must be hung with brackets that are affixed to the wall-side of the
window frame and hangs the curtain outside of the window frame, against the wall. So, before you go any
further, decide where on the window you want the curtain to hang and what kind of curtain rod you'll need to
do that.
Measuring the window. The measurements you take here will determine the success or failure of your curtain
making project. Remember the old saying: measure twice, cut once! Refer to the diagram below as you
measure your window in the following manner:
1. Get your pencil, paper, and measuring tape.
2. Decide how long or short you want the curtain to be.
3. Measure the width of the window. For a curtain that will fit inside the window frame, measure from
the inside of one corner to the inside of the other corner. F ...

2. PROBLEM AND SOLUTION
My problem was that if I put on shorts a little
to big on the waist you have to put on a belt.
Now I have made a product that has a belt
already on the pair of shorts so it doesn’t
take as long.
3. WHY I CHOSE THIS
• I chose this project because It was the first
thing that came to mind that was actually
possible that wouldn’t cost a bunch of
money.
4. MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS PROJECT
• My favorite part of this project was figuring
out how to get the belt onto the shorts.
5. PROCEDURES
• 1) First you need to find a pair of shorts that are your size.
• 2)You will need scissors, a needle, thread, and a belt.
• 3) You will need to use the scissors to cut through all materials, 3 ½ in. from
either side of the buttons on the shorts.
• 4)You then will need to feed the belt through the slits that you cut.
• 5) After that you will need to take the needle and thread and sew the belt
onto the shorts.(The thread needs to be thick enough so it does not rip.)
• 6)When you sew the belt to the pants it does not matter how you do it just
that it is does well with enough material used.
• 7)When you are done sewing the sewing from start to finish should be about
1 ½ in. long and you should have used about 18 in. total in. of belt.
6. PROBLEMS DURING THE EXPERIMENT
At first I couldn’t find a way to attach the belt to the shorts.
I needed to find a needle stable enough to go through that thick of material.
The thread needed to be thick enough not to rip if something attached to it.
7. RESULTS
• When my project was finished the results were just as I had wanted. The
short’s belt was very secure onto the shorts by the thread that I used. When
my brother put them on to try them, his first words were “Hey this actually
works!!”
• After he had wore them around the house a little I looked at them, there
seemed to be no tears or rips of the thread so that was good. It was just as
easy to tighten the belt as it would normally be with a belt around the shorts.
• So overall the shorts did what I wanted them to do, and that was make a
faster and easier way to wear shorts with a belt when you put them on and
still as comfortable when you wear them around.
8. WHAT I LEARNED
• What I learned from this project was that If you don’t get something right the
first time keep trying because 90% of the time there is a solution so keep on
trying.
• Also I learned that there is this thing called a “thimble” so that when you sew
you don’t stab yourself with the needle. That would have been really helpful
for me to know because I stabbed myself a lot while sewing the belt to my
pants.
9. THINGS I WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY NEXT TIME
One thing that I would do differently next time is I would have
started a lot earlier so I didn’t have to cram in working time at the
last minute.
Also I wish that I would have had a “thimble” so I wouldn’t have
stabbed myself so much.
10. MOST DIFFICULT PART
• The most difficult part of this project was finding a time that I
would be able to make my product.
• Also it was hard to draw the product that I created because of
how much it needed to be in detail.
11. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND SOURCES
• I want to thank my mom and Mr. Haynes for helping me with getting the
materials I needed for the project and for teaching me how to hand sew.

• Google.com
