Step 7You mean we need straps?
1. Sew one side of the strips right sides together. One of the coordinating and one of the main fabric.
2. Open the strap up.
3. Remember that ribbon I said was optional? This is where it comes into play. Lay it in the seam Sew it SECURELY (go back and forth a few times) as close to the short edge of the strap as possible.
4. Put the right sides of your fabric back together.
5. Sew the other long edge of the trap together making sure not to let the ribbon get caught in the seam.
6. What was that ribbon for you ask?
Well, let me start this off with a little antidote. I was making a tube once that was very long (about 60 inches). My husband the ever so helpful sort wanted to help. After pushing and pulling and poking with a dowel to try to turn the tube right side out, my husband informed me this process was like "performing a manual colonoscopy" (how he knew this I will NEVER know. If you've ever done this process before, you will probably agree.) So we brain stormed a better way. Inspired, my husband said "SEW A RIBBON ON IT!" And this process was born.
7. Ok, on with the show! Pull on the ribbon while holding the tube in your other hand. . You may need to help it out by tucking the first ½ inch of the tube inside itself, but it will come easily after that.
8. Snip the ribbon as close to it's attachment point as possible.
9. Repeat for the other strap.
10. Press the straps flat.
11. Topstitch ¼ inch from the edges.
2. Open the strap up.
