  • Okie doke, let's get started!

    Let's start with the strap. If you haven't got a 1.5" strap kit then you'll need to cut your fabric to suit your triglide and rectangular ring. Take the width of your strap kit and times it by 4. That'll be the width of both of your strap pieces. Then cut one 10" long and another the full width of your fabric.

    First of all I like to spray my strap pieces generously with some spray starch. I frequently bemoan the fact that I've starched my phone/posting scales/laptop/husband from some over spray. Hey, hazard of the job right?
