Oh What a Busy Sewing Bee I Am – 2018 Part 3

This blog is going to concentrate on the Bag’s Straps

Strap Tops Pinned

First of all I put the two right sides of the Straps together on both sides and pinned at the top. This is so they wouldn’t flap around whilst I sewed. It also marked the one centimetre gap I needed to leave at the top.

10 cm Pinned

The inside of the Straps could be sewn all the way around apart from a one centimetre gap at the very top. I could then remove those pins.

For the Outer sides of the straps there had to be a 10 cm gap. I therefore marked it with another pin
