Join and simultaneously serge the side edges using a 4-thread overlock. Seam allowance: 0.7 cm.

Fold the strap piece in half with the right sides facing inward. Sew a stitching line at a distance of 0.5-0.7 cm from the folded edge. Tip: At the start of the stitching, increase the seam allowance width for 7-9 stitches. Then transition to the desired seam width. Do the same at the end of the stitching, but in reverse order, and leave long thread tails at both ends of the seam. This will create a funnel effect at the beginning and end of the seam. Trim the excess seam allowances to 0.3–0.7 cm.
