Begin sewing by weaving the needle down through the strap material and then upwards through the strap material.

Sew half an inch above the bottom edge of the tote bag strap in a straight line all the way across to the other end of the strap.

Sew about 2-3 lines with the thread. You may add more or less depending on how much strength you think it will need.

Stitches should be about 1-2 mm apart.

When sewing through the tote bag material, be careful of finger tips since needle is sharp.
