Outstanding instructional! Thank you tho for hands down the best tutorial ive come across all day! TY for not starting off with 2 pages of your life story in the beginning too for real. great job with the instructions- easy to follow and to the point. I loved that there were a few pics in each step that if you glided over one of the images, it would highlight and enlarge as the main photo/step. extremely helpful and easy to guide through:) Also, can i just cut a small slice the size of strap through the bag at top and stick the strap end in and hand sew ? or do i have to have another piece of fabric sewn onto the strap to be able to do that....? i am trying to make it look like the strap never broke/was not repaired ya know? Than'Q!
