Supplies
Pencil

Sewing Machine
Iron
Magic Sizing or Spray Starch
Scissors
Tacky Glue
8" x 16" fabric
2 buttons
Trim
Fold the fabric right sides together, and trace
the template onto the fabric.
This is your sewing line--do NOT cut this out yet.
Tip: Use a pencil or a disappearing ink quilting pen.
A real pen can leave marks in your seams.
Sew around on the sewing line, leaving the
space open indicated on the template.
Now you can cut this out with a 1/8th inch seam allowance.
Clip inner curves.
Turn right side out and press. Whip stitch the open seam shut.
Tip: I have found a hemostat
the easiest way to turn items right side out.
Make sure to 'poke' the straps out. DO NOT
use a pencil, scissors, or any other sharp object to
poke out the edges. They will make a hole.
Lay a thin bead of glue where you want the trim.
Yes, you can sew the trim down, but gluing makes a
much neater trim.
Carefully lay your trim on the glue and
press down. I like a wet cloth handy to wipe
my fingers as I do this step.
Allow to dry before finishing.
Fold one strap over to the other side and sew in
place, attaching the button at the same time.
Check emplate for button position.
Repeat for the other side.
Now you are done! Isn't that easy?
I think this would look cute with a pocket!
