Autumn Cape Bag 2022 Part 21

In this blog, I am going to add the Second Part of the Backing.

 Cut to Length

 

Before I can go any further, I need to Cut the Material to the right Length. I then Hem the End.

Unpick and Trim

 

This is seriously annoying. There is definitely too much Excess of Material in the Backing. The Hem that I had done with the really ‘Hard Curve’ due to the thickness of the Original has to be Unpicked. I have to Trim the Edge of the Material back. Then I have to Resew the Hem again.

After I have done that, I will need to Tack the Backing to the Strap as I did with the Template.

Sew Edge

 

After all that faffing around, I can finally begin on the next part. I need to Strengthen the Strap Further. I do this by Decreasing the Surface Area. I bring the two Edges of the Strap together. I then Sew with Wool using a Blanket Stitch.

 Add Buckle

 

I cannot Sew all the way down as I need to Match up this End of the Strap with its opposite. I can now add the Buckle to the Strap.

 Sew Strap Edges Together

With the Buckle added, I can continuing Sewing the Edges together. I Sew down to the End of the Strap. I am not going to Sew the Bottom yet as I will need to check what Colour Wool, I need going across.
