Belt: Sewing the remaining sections

The remaining sections (in my case, 4) will be sewn in a similar manner; with a slightly different build-up.  If you are making a 5-piece belt as I did, after insuring the pieces are cut at the correct angle, sew the interface pieces together for each side, and do the same for the outersides and the innersides. You will have three long sections for each side of the belt.  
If you look at the first picture in this step, you will see the parts of the sides sewn together.  
These long sections will be treated together as the middle section was, sewn, leaving the outermost side open, interface trimmed, piece flipped right-side-out, dull-pointer object pushing out the corners to their proper points, sewing the open side, and topstitching all around at least twice for stability.  
You will need to push or cut your holes into their pieces and insert the eyelets now into the edges that will attach to the center piece, making sure to leave room on the inner side of the eyelets for stitching these pieces to the center section while keeping the correctly alignment.

After you hammer your eyelets into the fabric, go ahead and lace the belt, paying attention to the proper measurements between the two pieces.  When laced at the proper distance apart, cut your lacing and secure to the back of these belt pieces, as this lacing is simply for show and does not adjust.

Then pin both pieces to the central section, as seen in picture two of this step. Sew these pieces to the central section on the outer edge of the eyelets. Due to paranoia, I stitched this at least twice, and three times on the very top and bottom.
