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..

Test print and then fabric. Are you an all over ra Test print and then fabric. Are you an all over random print or a linear structured print person? 

I always say to myself that I’m going to create a random print and then go straight for a structured layout.
