327fed Report post Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) Hello, This is a prototype of a cell phone/checkbook bag my wife asked me to make for her elderly friend, for Christmas. It is a prototype and the stitching and cutting is crooked. My wife mentioned this but this is a prototype. And no I won't make it out of orange vinyl, just have very little of the chrome tanned leather I plan to use, and can't waste it on a prototype. The straps are my question. Plan to use 3/4 straps of the same material - how to attach. I am thinking a loop riveted to each side of the purse on the side at top, 3/4 inch with 3/4 inch D rings or jump rings. Then a snap on ends of strap. Anybody got a better idea? Thanks. David Edited November 26, 2023 by 327fed no pic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted November 27, 2023 Considering the size . . . I would most likely go to the back . . . right behind the fold . . . place two loops of leather with D rings . . . and a 1 inch strap for carrying. I never liked (just a personal preference) 3/4 inch straps . . . they just don't carry well . . . 1 inch is my minimum. And I would probably use a brass ball fitting like used on holsters . . . to adjust the length of the strap for the wearer. She could make it a long shoulder strap so she could take it over her head . . . or a shorter one to use slipping up and over the shoulder. And I do like the color . . .
