VIDEO: Adjustable Straps 2 Ways

In this video, I will show you how to make an adjustable strap using 2 different methods.
 
In the first method, I will use a metal rectangle and a metal slider to make an adjustable strap that will be sewn into the side seam of your bag.
 
In the second method, I will use two swivel clips and either two d-rings or two triangle rings to make a removable adjustable strap.

Happy sewing! 🙂

    When threading through the slider, my husband pointed out that you should thread the end through the slider so it is inside the loop, not outside. That way the sewed end won’t be visible, because the loop closes up when worn. He showed me that’s how it’s done on overalls. Looks great.

    I look forward to your Sewcial Sunday video chats. Sara your bag making tips and your unbiased product reviews are great. Thanks for revealing the mystery (to me that is), of constructing adjustable bag straps.
