Members JZC Posted yesterday at 12:05 PM Members Report Posted yesterday at 12:05 PM I'm hoping someone has ideas on how to construct this strap so the stitches look clean on both sides. The strap ends will go through the bag and wrap on both sides which will be visible from both sides. My initial thought was to double up the strap ends (without the strap attached) and punch holes, hand stitch the middle section (where it goes through bag), attach strap ends through the bag, double stick tape (or glue) strap ends to strap, and then hand stitch with awl. Am I on the right track or does someone else have an easier way or thought on a different process. Thank you in advance for any advice. Quote
Members TomE Posted 5 hours ago Members Report Posted 5 hours ago Not sure if I understand your question. You can make the narrow end of the strap as a separate chape that wraps around the front and back of the wider part of the strap. The wider strap would be sandwiched between 2 layers of the chape with the grain side showing on both sides of the strap. The wider strap could be lined. Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted 2 hours ago CFM Report Posted 2 hours ago have you tested this problem with some scrap material to see how it looks? Why would one side of your stitches look bad?
