AlZilla Posted March 31 Report Posted March 31 I didn't think this attachment through. I need to attach the strap on the picture to the patch. There will be 2 more of the same at the other end. These suspenders have a single strap on the back and 2 in front. I could lay the patch on the strap and sew it, but that gets really thick. I just can't visualize a solution that doesn't look clunky. Thanks for any ideas.

CFM chuck123wapati Posted March 31 CFM Report Posted March 31 (edited) I used two rivets on each strap; they are about ten years old now. If it seems too thick skive down the attachment areas.

Members dikman Posted March 31 Members Report Posted March 31 The first pair I made I stitched all around 'cos that's what I thought you did (plus it looked very neat and tidy). It took a while but the inevitable happened and one strap tore across the stitch line. How did they make them in ye olde days?

I think a bleed knot would be hard. But I like the idea. Definitely going to think. Thanks.

Definitely going to think. Thanks. I meant that the bleed knot should be made from something thinner. Maybe a better word is lacing. Like the back belt on a set of chaps. 🙂 Brgds Jonas Quote
AlZilla Posted April 16 Author Report Posted April 16 So, here's where I ended up. Narrowed them down, skived them, then glued and sewed a stitch line. Thanks for everyone's thoughts. I'm still trying to figure out how to incorporate bleed knots into suspenders ...😎 Quote “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” - Voltaire “Republics decline into democracies and democracies degenerate into despotisms.” - Aristotle
