It’s Day 4 of the Pascal Sew Along and today we are attaching the Strap and Hardware.
A few notes about today’s assignment:
When sewing the Strap onto the Quilted Panel, check the bobbin thread so it matches with the Lining fabric. There will only be a small portion visible once the bag is completed, but if it’s important to you that the thread matches, keep that in mind.
For the webbing/strap and hardware size, I give a recommended 1″ wide for the small size Pascal and 1.5″ wide for the medium and large size Pascal. You can change those sizes up and choose any width you’d like for your Pascal Case, you just need to make sure that the width of the webbing matches that of the hardware. Consequently, if you’re covering the webbing with fabric, you’ll need to make sure the fabric Strap Cover is cut to the correct size for your webbing (for 1″ webbing, cut the fabric Strap Cover 2 3/4″ wide, for 1.5″ webbing, cut the fabric Strap Cover to 3 3/4″ wide).
After measuring down the middle of the Quilted Panel and centering the Strap on the line, I like to measure to the left and the right of the Strap to make sure it’s not leaning more toward one side or the other. Sometimes webbing can be slightly curved instead of completely straight, so it helps to place some straight pins down into the webbing and through the Quilted Panel to make sure it’s centered well.
That’s it for today! You can check out the video for Day 4 on Instagram HERE or Facebook HERE.
