[@rockthenatural]

How do you determine the length of the strap in order to make it adjustable?

[@NoTraceShop]

It depends on the type of strap and bag. You'll want to measure the length you want to be able to stretch and shorten too. For example, if you want to make a hip bag that also fits around as a cross body bag, you'd measure the waist as the smaller length and cross body length as the longer length.

[@rockthenatural]

@@NoTraceShop Thank you. This is very helpful.

[@cyndiaz3497]

Hello, i really apreciate the video. It helped alot I just had a question. I made one but it keeps loosening and im wondering if thats because i used a buckle that is wider than the strap?

[@NoTraceShop]

Yes, if the buckle is larger, it'll keep moving around. good luck!

[@annitagalvan9049]

Hello and thank you for the demonstration. I have the following query: I will sew some aprons and will use stainless steel D-rings. As these are fabrics, they will definitely need to be washed in the washing machine. I have been told not to use a stainless steel D-ring in the washing machine because it will rust. I'm a bit confused. I would like to have your opinion as well. Thank you for your time and help.

[@NoTraceShop]

Hi - I've never had issues with the d-rings rusting in the wash and we wash them - lots of aprons have them too! So I think you should be okay. You could put the apron into a delicates bag if you're worried about the d ring scratching your washer (we haven't had that issue either though!).

[@annitagalvan9049]

Hello, thank you so much for your response. And your tip to put the apron in to a delicate bag, is very helpful! Thanks a lot.

[@carolbrown5516]

Great tutorial. I’ve looked at so many and get confused because they are too fast and no talking.

[@NoTraceShop]

so glad it was helpful for you!

[@christinew.2746]

How long is the strap before you start working on it?

[@NoTraceShop]

It depends on the bag and how adjustable you want it to be (and how tall you are!). For a bag that goes across the body, I try to make the strap around 55 inches or so (full length). You can take a measuring tape and decide the right length for you :).
