How to Make a Wristlet in no Time

How to Make a Wristlet in no Time 

Here goes my first blog!!!

Hi all!!! Today is the day I finally decided that I start a blog. Everyday when I wake up I'll tell myself that I was going to start one today but, I get distracted really badly and I feel the urge to sew something especially when I look at my fabric stash and that's how my day goes .

Today without any further procrastination I made up mind to start a blog while my inner mind is still asking me about how this is happening and I've decided to completely ignore it.😝

Well,I have made vinyl wristlet strap for my new pattern  Duo wallet .You can follow the same tutorial to make a woven fabric wristlet. So, here goes the tutorial !!! 

Vinyl Wrist Strap
MATERIALS REQUIRED:
1) Cut 1: 2” x 14” vinyl rectangle.
2) 1/2" (12 mm) Swivel snap hook.
3) One rivet (optional).

 In this tutorial I will show you how to make open end vinyl strap.

 Use a pencil to draw a center line on the wrong side of the rectangle. Apply a small amount of glue on the center line.



   Fold the raw edges towards the center marked line and clip. 





      Again fold the edges together as shown below and clip.



Add the Swivel Hook:
   Slide a swivel hook on to the strap. 



  
  












   Open out the ends of the strap with right sides together, clip to hold in place. Make sure the straps are not twisted.  Sew the edges together about ¼” seam allowance.



    Refold the strap and clip together along the open edge.   


     Top stitch about 1/8” from the folded edge, moving the swivel hook out of the way as you go, going all the way around the loop. Repeat on the other folded edge.

   Sew the loop close, going back and forth across the strap, staying close to swivel hook. Sew  near the seam created when joining the strap ends together.

  
     I have used rivet for an added look.



  Instead of using the D ring I have used the zipper pulls hole to attach the strap to the wallet with the swivel hook.

Tada!!!! My strap is ready to attach it on my wallet 😊
