Work description
Step 1.
Cut the bag strap to the desired size, in this case 160 centimeters has been used.
Step 2.
Work the cut end of the bag tape with Prym Fray Stop to prevent fraying. Then let it dry briefly.
Step 3.
We start by attaching the adjustable buckle. Place the bag strap through the buckle and pin the end in place. Then sew the end together with the sewing machine.
Step 4.
Take one musceton hook and thread it onto the ribbon, with the musceton hook on the right side/side with the ethnic print.
Step 5.
Pull the loose end through the adjustable buckle. From now on the adjustable buckle is in operation, so the length can be adjusted by using the buckle.
Step 6.
Now that the adjustable buckle is in action, we can also attach the other end to a musceton hook. Pin the end in place and then stitch with the sewing machine.
