Autumn Cape Bag 2022 Part 39

 Autumn Cape Bag 2022 Part 39

With the Flap sorted, I now want to Strengthen Top of the Bag.

Green Strip

 











I found a small Green Strip of Material. It is roughly the right size and shape.

Strip Hemmed

 



I have Hemmed the Strip and Pinked the edges to stop Fraying.

Long Strip

 





The Strip is about an inch too Long. I decided this time to cut off the Excess. The thing to remember is when cutting across it also cuts the Hem Thread. I needed to resew the Hem ends.

Strip Secured


 



After Tacking the Strip in place, I went over it with Blanket Stitch.  The Top is far more Secure.
