Help me pick a strap style!

Northern Virginia

... Read moreChoosing the right strap style can make all the difference in the design and functionality of your bag. With a full strap length of 47 inches, it's important to consider how any excess strap length will be incorporated into the overall look. Options to explore include adjusting the strap length to create a unique style, using additional hardware like slides and buckles for customization, or opting for decorative knots or braids to manage excess length. When creating your crossbody bag, think about how the strap design complements the body of the bag itself. You might consider wide, flat straps for comfort, or narrow straps for a more streamlined look. Consider the weight distribution as well; heavier bags may benefit from wider straps that alleviate shoulder pressure. Seeking inspiration from other sewing enthusiasts can spark new ideas, so don't hesitate to share your thoughts in the crafting community! Utilize hashtags like #sewing and #crossbodybag to connect with others who share your interests and get valuable feedback.

How to use a crossbody strap as a shoulder strap
No hole punching or cutting required! Depending on the thickness of your strap, you can use an O-ring to connect it to your bag. I used a 1.5 inch O-ring with my large Coach Rowan 🥰👜
