At the time I made this for may daughter, I calculated the length of the strap as approximately twice the width of the finished bag, but depending on who you are making it for and your preference, you can have a shorter or a longer strap. Updating the post now to include this info, thank you for the heads up.Teresa Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09686064578142193320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557412432315894254.post-88908390870813695822023-10-09T17:18:02.623+01:002023-10-09T17:18:02.623+01:00Me too ..I wonder what would be the length of the ...Me too ..I wonder what would be the length of the strapShanaz yasinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557412432315894254.post-19689255922382718572023-07-09T21:23:49.176+01:002023-07-09T21:23:49.176+01:00I finally found it.I finally found it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557412432315894254.post-30300312577203564242023-07-09T21:21:58.304+01:002023-07-09T21:21:58.304+01:00I must have missed the supply list and the pattern...I must have missed the supply list and the pattern for the pieces...<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557412432315894254.post-15081721542489091032023-03-29T19:17:57.294+01:002023-03-29T19:17:57.294+01:00Hi, you can find the link after the second image o...Hi, you can find the link after the second image of the post or in the second before last sentence of thr post, click on the word "here".

I used 30 inches long for my 9 year old granddaughter that likes to wear it across her chest. Lay your strip on the ironing board. Fold each long side to the middle just meeting the edges in the center and not over lapping. Press, then fold the strap piece in half again and press. There should be no raw edges showing, now only folds. I top stitch the strap on each side for a finished look. You could use decorative stitches on each edge.

Great tutorial, bcuz Im not sure I would remember which tops to leave open, which bottoms to leave open, etc.<br />For the straps I cut a strip of fabric a bit longer than I wanted the strap to be. I put a length of grosgrain down the middle on wrong side and folded each long side over to middle. and pinned. the first raw edge was concealed by the second raw edge which when folded didnt go all the way to the edge, but rather to the center. I pressed and pinned. Then I got to use one of my fancy stitches and sewed down the middle of the strip. This gave a design to both sides while sewing the raw edge piece in place. The Grosgrain ribbon added strength and some form. Then I folded over the ends and sewed in place.
