Work description

Step 1.

Cut the bag strap to the desired length. In this case, we use 160 cm.

Step 2.

Apply Fray Stop to the cut ends of the strap to prevent fraying. Let it dry briefly.

Step 3.

Attach the adjustable buckle. Thread the strap through the buckle and pin the end in place. Then, sew the end securely using a sewing machine.

Step 4.

Take one musceton hook and slide it onto the strap, making sure the hook is on the right side (the side with the ethnic print).

Step 5.

Thread the loose end of the strap back through the adjustable buckle. The adjustable mechanism is now in place, allowing you to modify the length using the buckle.

Step 6.

Now that the adjustable buckle is in place, attach the second musceton hook to the other end of the strap. Pin it in place and secure it with the sewing machine.

Restyle SPTR80SFS Fabric scissor 19 cm

This 19 cm fabric scissor, crafted from high-quality Japanese H56+ surgical steel, offers excellent cutting performance and durability. The hardness of the steel ensures that the scissor remains sharp for an extended period, even with intensive use and when cutting a variety of materials. The blades are designed to effortlessly cut through both light and heavy fabrics, as well as leather and paper. The unique black coating not only provides a stylish, professional appearance but also serves a practical function. This coating makes it easy to remove glue residues, fabric fibers, and other debris from the blades, greatly simplifying maintenance. With a length of 19 cm, this scissor offers an excellent balance between control and precision, making it ideal for detailed work. The ergonomic handles are designed for long-term use without causing hand fatigue. They provide a firm grip and maximum control, which is particularly important for precise cuts on different materials. The compact size makes the scissor light and easy to handle, making it perfect for precision work. The Myth: It is often said that "there is no scissor that can be used for all materials." However, this scissor proves otherwise. Thanks to its sturdy design and use of Japanese surgical steel, this scissor is suitable for a wide range of materials, from delicate fabrics to heavier materials like leather and vinyl. This makes it a versatile tool that handles every challenge without compromising on quality. Care Tips: Clean the blades after each use: The black coating makes it easy to remove glue residues and dirt, helping to maintain sharpness and durability. Store the scissor dry and protected: While surgical steel is highly rust-resistant, it’s still important to store the scissor in a dry place and in a case for extra protection. With this ReStyle scissor, you have a compact yet powerful tool that effortlessly handles even the most diverse materials, debunking the myth that no universal scissor exists.

ReStyle Tape measure 150 x 2 cm

The measuring tape is 150 cm long and 2 cm wide, with a clear centimeter scale on both sides. On one side, the scale runs from 1 to 150 cm, and on the other, from 150 to 1 cm. This clever design makes measuring lengths longer than 150 cm easier and more efficient, as the tape only needs to be flipped over instead of returning to the starting point to continue measuring. The measuring tape is made of high-quality plastic and features metal ends, preventing stretching and ensuring durability and ease of use. The black markings make the centimeter scale clearly visible, allowing for quick and accurate reading of the measured value. The 150 cm ReStyle measuring tape comes in blue, while the 300 cm version is available in yellow, making it easy to grab the right tape from the sewing kit. This tape measure is ideal for various applications, such as in construction, for craftsmen, in the fashion industry, or in education, where precision and speed are crucial.
