SEW ALONG—Tuck N Roll Bag

Step 1—Wrap Around Strap

Press the long strip of fabric. 

With RIGHT sides together, press raw edges together creating a long narrow strip. 

Stitch along long side using a ¼” seam allowance.  (See Tips Section below to cut wide of strap specifically for the width of your hardware) 

Using a tube turner and following tube turner directions, load fabric tube onto tube turner.  

Carefully start turning fabric tube end inside out onto tube turner.  Sometimes, serger tweezers are helpful in getting the tube started. 

Carefully turn fabric tube right side out. 

Press seam flat, then press seam to side. 

Lay one raw end on top of the other and stitch together.  Set aside.

Tips:  You can piece together the length of fabric by stitching two shorter pieces of fabric together. Using a fabric pencil, draw a diagonal line from corner to corner of the two pieces of fabric.  See sample below.  Stitch along line. 

Open out and press.  

Trim excess. 

Press fabric strip to ready for stitching.

To customize width of strap, measure hardware; cut fabric  4 times the width of hardware width. 

STEP 1 IS COMPLETE!
