Alternative way to attach bag handle
Previously when attaching the webbing strap to the finished bag I have made the hole through the lining, bag and strap using a thin knitting needle and wiggling it around until the hole is large enough to accommodate the shank of the hammer-on button.
However, this method was very awkward and always resulted in the edges of the webbing becoming drawn in at the point of the buttonhole. I needed to find a more efficient method of making these buttonholes.
Previously - showing edges of webbing drawn in at point of buttonhole |
However, this method produced a great result. A neat and sealed hole in the bag strap through which to put the shank of the hammer-on button.
New Method - Neatly sealed hole through which to insert shank of hammer-on button |
Button attached using new method. Webbing is no longer drawn in at edges at point of buttonhole. |
Finished Bag
Made from recycled black bin liners. This gives a very different effect from previous bags I have made using white and/or multi coloured plastic bags.
