Sewing a Purse Strap

Video Transcript

"Okay, now we're going to go ahead and make the strap for it. I have a piece of material, happens to be just a little bit wider than the other ones, but it doesn't matter if it's the same size. What I'm going to do is cut it, like that. Rip it down here. Then I'm going to put two ends together. Make sure that, the ends don't have to line up evenly. Make sure the sides do, because the ends might not be cut perfect. And I'm going to go ahead and attach them to make one longer strap. Then, after I do that, I'm going to fold it so the right side is in, just like that, and I'm going to sew it all the way down. Just like that. There again, you want a lot of, at least a half inch seam so you've got a little room in case it should lose frail at all in the inside, so it won't come loose. Oops. There you go. And you don't have to finish off the edges, because they will actually be tucked in. It'll look like that when you're done."
