f you missed part one, please check it out and let me know what you think.
Since I’ve changed the handles, I would like to make some other changes to create a seamless look.
I thought I could add a strip to cover the front seam (going right down the middle of the bag) with the same fabric as the handles.

You Will Need (2 things)

  • Fabric
  • Sewing Machine

Steps (7 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    First, I cut a piece the length of the seam plus 4cm (they will finish the ends later).

  2. 2

    To create a seamless look (ie. no visible stitching), I started out by folding in in half lengthwise.

  3. 3

    Then folding in one side to the middle…

  4. 4

    and then folding in the other side to the middle, pinning it down, and finally, sewing it together (making sure not to stitch through the front side).

  5. 5

    I turned it over to hide that seam and sewed it to the bag with a simple stitch along both sides and folding in the ends to hide the rough edges.

    Another piece to my handbag project complete!
