Here’s another simple idea to jazz up your garment, be it a shirt, blouse, jacket, or trench coat. Add this quick tutorial on crafting a cool tab, strap or epaulette to your saved posts.
1️. Cut out a rectangle that’s twice the length of the piece. The rectangle’s width should be the desired width of the tab or strap plus 2 cm (3/4”) for seam allowances.
2️. Press the seam allowances of the long sides by 1 cm (3/8”) to the wrong side.
3️. Fold the piece in half lengthwise and press to create a crease at the center.
4️. Open the piece up, fold it wrong sides together at the center, and stitch a center line.
5️. Open the piece up again, shape a corner at the seam by folding the piece wrong sides together, and press it down.
6️. Stitch all around the perimeter, joining the two sides at 1−2 mm from the edge.
7️. Give your finished piece a final press.
The beauty of this is you don’t have to struggle with flipping tiny pieces right side out or shaping perfect corners.
