 Autumn Cape Bag 2022 Part 15

I have had fun (not) trying to sort out the photographs for this blog as taken quite a few in one go.

Pin Strap

 

I Pinned Strap to Material again.

Trim Strap

 

I now Trimmed the Material around the Strap. I make sure that I have left enough room for a Hem.

Pin Template

 

Before I go any further I am going to use what I have cut out as a Template. I placed and Pinned the Material on top of the Offcut and then Cut out. I have put aside for later.

Pin Middle

 

I take the Template and I Pin from the Curve to roughly the Middle of the Material.

Blue Hem

 

I now Hem what I have Pinned. I am using Blue Thread for this. Normally I would match the Thread to the Material. However the is not going to be seen so going to use something easily spotted and use up some spare Thread I have left over.

Pin Beginning

 

Now I have the Middle Sewn I am now Pinning the Beginning of the Strap and Folding over. I need to match the Ends to make this work.

Mark End

 

At the Folded End I take a Pencil and Mark it. Again I have to remember it will need Hemming.

All Hemmed

This Template is now fully Hemmed. I will now be able to use it for more accurate copies.
