REPAIR OF BAG STRAPS more  -->

2008.016.022: Bag before repairs, with frayed and broken strap.

There are two bags with long straps in the collection and both of the straps needed repair. One of the bags is on a doll the other is a separate accessory.  The same technique was use to repair both. I used matching thread and anchored it to one end of the broken strap then I made a few long stitches to connect the two ends, weaving them in with the original threads prior to anchoring the thread on the other end of the broken strap.
