Sew the sides and bottom of the pocket block to the bag side
sections, stitching along the tacking stitches to secure. Remove
pins as you go.
Use double-sided adhesive or tape to secure the straps to
the bag.
Cut two straps of your chosen material measuring 1 1⁄2” wide by 31”
long. For this tutorial, we used medium weight oiled leather.
Place the straps along the inside edges of the center block’s
seams, about 4” down.
Once taped, use a ruler to check the straps for evenness. The
placement of the straps’ ends should be 4” below the top edge of
the bag. Measure 2” from bottom edge of the straps and mark.
Sew the straps in place, stitching close to the strap edges on
three sides and across where you previously marked, creating a
box along the bottom edge to secure them fully to the bag.
Stitch diagonally from corner to corner to create an X in the center
for additional reinforcement.
