Strap Happy!

For anyone looking to enhance their bag-making skills and create unique, eye-catching designs, my "Strap Happy" guide is a fantastic resource for adding creative and stylish strap connectors and no raw edge straps to bags! Whether you are a beginner or more experienced sewist, this guide's techniques and instructions offer inspiration and guidance for creating beautiful bags with distinctive strap connectors and no raw edge straps. Users can learn how to create five different strap connectors using three techniques. It's great to know that these connectors are tailored for users of Domestic Sewing Machines (DSMs) as well as industrials and are designed to be both easy to create and sew onto bag exteriors. Measurements are included for both inches and metrics. SVGs are also included.

One of the benefits of these strap connectors is that they don't interfere with the top seam of the bag. This eliminates the need for topstitching over areas that might become thicker due to the presence of the straps. This feature ensures a clean and polished look for the bag's exterior. And they are great scrap busters!

The strap designs are easy to construct and eliminate the need for purchased or handcrafted strap ends. And there is a bonus: a unique method for making an adjustable strap.
