 Autumn Cape Bag 2022 Part 20

 This was slightly trickier than I thought it would be but I got there in the end.

 Strap to be Backed

 

Above is a photograph of the Strap that I am going to back. This is the one that I have finished Knitting and Shaped at the end.

 Pin Template

 

I decided to use the Template on the Strap, as I knew it was the most accurate. I matched the Curved section then Pinned along the Bottom.

 Pin One Side

 

I began to Pin both Sides. When Strap was Stretched out there seemed to be an Excess of Material.  I decided to Pin one Side at a time. That way I could make sure, that I could check how much the Excess was.

 Tack Along

 

Once the Backing was fully Pinned I could begin to Sew into place. I merely used a Tacking Stitch as I was going to Sew it with a stronger Thread later.

Tack Both Sides

 

I Tacked all the way around Both Sides and along the Top. I am leaving the Bottom Untacked for now. This is because I want to check a few things first.

As you can see in the above photograph, the Template is not entirely Flat. This is due to the Excess Material. I am going to have to consider this factor when I move on to the next part.
