Step 10Sewing up
Using the sewing machine (or not, if you're not) stitch along the long side that you've just tacked, as you did before. Don't sew up the final rounded end.
Remove all tacking threads and turn the strap right-side out. The blunt end of a pencil or pen will come in handy for pushing the fabric into place.
You might find that the tunnels have come out wrong-side out - don't worry, you can turn them "inside out", after which they will be right-side out on the other side of the strap. (This is easier to do than describe.) Turn the raw edges inside, pin the last rounded curve in place, and slip-stitch it closed. Press the strap.
At this point, you should try the strap on with your watch to check that it's worked. As in the picture, you should have a strap with ends that overlap slightly, and tunnels that stick up slightly from the main strap. It won't hold your watch in place very well yet, but that doesn't matter.
