Step 1
Isn't it yummy looking:) For this you have to first cut strips from your leather/faux leather/rexin or whatever material you choose.The dimensions are 5" wide by whatever length you want.I have used 20".So cut 2 strips of 5" by desired length.
Draw a line on the wrong side in the center of the strip lengthwise like this.Ummm.............OK the line is really faint but I hope you got the point,if not I am here:) -
Step 4
Now fold it once more...............last time I promise:)
Leave 1.5" at both ends & sew the rest shut & Voila!!!!!!!!
Your smart purse strap is ready.Repeat with the other strap.
If you are making this with regular fabric I would suggest you add interfacing to the strips before you start sewing.So start strapping up!!!!!!Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Google Buzz
