Members lightingale Posted March 30, 2015 Members Report Posted March 30, 2015 This is gorgeous and beautifully put together! Can I ask how you did the straps? It looks like a folded edge with a strip of snake sewn on top? Quote
Members Randahl Posted April 1, 2015 Author Members Report Posted April 1, 2015 Yes. The strap has a split on the inside for strenght. A piece of piping is placed around the split. Then the soft black leather is folded over it and glued down with Barge. The piping leaves a low spot on one side of the strap.Then the snake print is glued over the seam where the black leather meets in the low spot. Sew it down and ready to go. Hope thats clear. If not let me know. Quote

If not let me know. Thanks for the walkthrough! I absoloutely love this look and have been looking into its methodology for dog collars. Did you use a welting foot on your sewing machine to get the stitch line so close to the piping? Or just use a single toe? Quote
Members Randahl Posted April 3, 2015 Author Members Report Posted April 3, 2015 Hey lightingale, the backpack purse was sewn completely on the Cobra Class 4. The foot is a walking foot that comes on the Class 4. Quote
