Step 11Fixing the tunnels
Lay the strap cover down with your watch still in it. Centre the strap in the cover and adjust the watch's position until it is sitting as you want it when the cover is finished.
Carefully tack the tunnels down on either side of the watchstrap. Be careful not to sew it down too tightly - leave enough slack that the strap can still slide through the tunnel. If there is a buckle on the strap, you will need to leave a little more slack so that the buckle can pass through. A clasp such as you get on metal watch straps will probably not take up much more room than the strap itself, but it's worth testing.
Once all the tunnel sides are tacked, take the watch out of the cover. Machine-stitch from the very ends of the cover along the lines of your tacking, or just outside. Just keep going along the length of the cover and off the end. Do this as neatly as you can, since these stitches will be visible.
