Post rider Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I am trying to hand sew a snap sack. I found the pattern on a site www.thebuckskinners.com. I have sewn the top and bottom seam but I am confused on the side seam. How do do i fold it over and sew it flat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post rider Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) I will try that. These are the instructions that I was having trouble following. This is the first time sewing cloth. I usually sew with leather.: 4.) Fold the bag so that the finished (no seams) sides are together. Folding the raw edge under 1/2 inch, overlap the fabric 1 1/2 to 2 inches and sew from C to D (or A to B ). This is the top of the bag. Fold the remaining raw edge under at least 1/4 inch and sew the other edge of the overlap down to fell the seam. This is where you can adjust to insure that your strap will fit into its intended channel. Edited July 18, 2013 by Post rider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Post rider Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 I am using a heavy thread for buttons and carpets that I found at a thrift store. Is there a better choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
