Bind raw edge of tote and strap. Join ends of binding Fold binding over raw edges and sew down. Edge of binding can be machined in place around strap section but hand sewing will probably be easier around the tote sides. Chris Frampton (student of mine) suggests that you use a curved needle when sewing binding in place Attach tote front in same manner, bind and complete as above. Attach hook and look fastener or other section of magnetic snap to tote front. Why not purchase more In-R-Form and make another style? Jennie Rayment
