Step 9
Right. This is the tricky part. You should now have something that looks like the picture.
Once you have sewn the other side up and turned the strap right-side out, you need the tunnels to stick up a little from the rest of the strap, which lies flat. So you need to make sure they have a little bit of slack in them when you sew them in place.
The easiest way to do this is to push each tunnel piece in a little, so that it curves up a little from the lower main strap piece, then tack it in place. Once you've done that for both of them, squish them flat (this may involve making a tiny pleat in each piece), flatten the upper main strap piece over the top so it aligns with the lower one, and tack that in place.
You should end up with two main strap pieces whose long edges are perfectly aligned, and a slight lump in the middle of the fabric sandwich where the tunnel pieces are not quite flat.
I hope that was all comprehensible. Look at the next picture before you tack it down if it wasn't.
