-
Locate the detached strap and gather all the tools needed for the fix.
-
Note: In this example, the strap is not fully detached. However, if the backpack is worn extensively, the seam could break and the strap could come off completely.
-
-
-
Remove the strap from the seam.
-
Use a pair of scissors and a seam ripper to cut the strap off and remove any loose threads.
-
Tip: You may need to remove both internal and external stitches. In this example, an internal binding (yellow arrow) also needed to be cut.
-
-
-
Once the area has been cleaned, completely remove the strap from the seam in preparation for the next step.
-
-
-
-
Reintroduce the strap into the seam and secure it in place with sewing pins.
-
-
-
Use a sewing machine to stitch the strap in place.
-
Make sure the needle is positioned on the side and not in the middle (red arrow).
-
After stitching, make sure that the seam is done back and forth and that it is fully fixed.
-
-
-
Although a sewing machine is preferred, if the fabric is too thick, the stitching can be reinforced by hand.
-
Note: In this example, we use a combination of hand stitching and a sewing machine.

-
Use a pair of scissors to clean the area and remove any loose threads.
