DIY.. Straps, Straps and Straps!

in DIY Projects, Sewing Tips & Tricks on 30/08/13

I posted my bath tote earlier this week. What a great home for all those rubber duckies!  So far we have used this little bag almost every night. It has been fun making a game out of cleaning up the bath toys. It was super easy to sew, if you want to check it out, you can see the tutorial here.

I showed the sewing steps for the bag.  To finish the straps, I sent everyone over to a strap tutorial I posted a few months ago.  I had the images from when I was making the bag, so I thought why not share an updated and easy strap tutorial.

Materials Needed:

  1. Fabric
  2. Quilting ruler
  3. Rotary cutter – Fiskars or Olfa brand
  4. Cutting mat
  5. Sewing supplies – thread, pins and sewing machine
  6. Iron and ironing board

  1. Cut your fabric into 2 long pieces – you can cut your fabric really fast when you use a rotary cutter. For this project, my straps where skinny – 1 3/4″W x 10″L
  2. Fold the fabric in half along the length and press with your iron
  3. Fold again – this time fold each side towards the center seam.  Press again
  4. Fold again along the initial fold. Press the fold. Your strap is almost complete
  5. Place the strap into your sewing machine and edgestitch along each side
  6. Now you can add to you to your handbag, storage bin, etc. Pin and sew into place

Have a great long weekend!  Into the month of September we go..

I made the most glorious little Kraft-tex journal I made the most glorious little Kraft-tex journal cover over the holidays.  Not only do I love the color of the month for December (blue turquoise), but the texture of my journal is like aged leather and looks durable and rugged. Did you know Kraft-tex is actually paper??? My cover was simple to make and is just one rectangular piece of Kraft-tex, folded over at the ends and topstitched. Thats it.❤️

What a fun class! Thank you to the participants in What a fun class! Thank you to the participants in my first zoom block printing class. It was an amazing group of people coming together with a common goal - sharing their love of print and pattern design.

My hubby snapped a few pictures during the workshop. I’m normally a “hider outer”, but thought this was a perfect opportunity to say Hi.  Even if it is looking down and away from the camera. 🤪

I will be hosting another block printing zoom workshop mid January. Come one come all. DM or email me for details.
