Fold the strap so there is a half-inch between the stitching line and the handle attachment.

Sewing

Start on one edge and push the needle through both piece of strap.

Once the bit of thread is pulled through, go through the strap again, this time a pinch to the side of where you came up.

Repeat this until you have sewed a stitch across the entire width of the strap.

After reaching the opposite end, pull the needle through, bringing up as much excess thread as it allows. Note: do not pull too hard or the thread will rip.

Tie a knot at the end, keeping the knot close to the base of the thread. Repeat until you believe the knot is strong enough to hold.
