Sewing the Straps

Explore two techniques for sewing the straps.

Method #1: easy

1. Cut the strap from the fabric. Fold it in half and press it flat.

2. Unfold the strap, then fold each side inward towards the center fold line and press them in place.

3. Finally, close the strap and top stitch along the edge to secure it.

Method #2: using a string

1. Place a string at the center of the right side of the fabric strap.

2. Fold the strap in half, ensuring the string is enclosed, and secure the edge with pins.

3. Sew along the short edge of the strap, stitching over the string to secure it in place.

4. Sew along the long edge of the strap, making sure to avoid stitching over the string. Stitching further from the string creates a thicker strap.

5. Trim any excess fabric and pull the string through to turn the strap right side out.

6. Cut off the string from the strap.
