I sewed my bias tape into a long tube (1/4″ seam allowance), turned it right side out, and pressed it flat. I then cut it into to strips about 11″ long.
I looped my bias straps around my o-rings, and did the same with my strap elastic and sliders (looping around the middle bar). I tacked them down with a narrow zig-zag stitch.
Next, I fed my strap elastic through my o-ring, and back down, weaving it into my slider.
… making an adjustable strap! Don’t have sliders? Do you have an old beat-up bra laying around? Why not harvest it for parts? When I was first learning how to make lingerie, I tore apart all my old, unwearable bras, and used the parts to practice.
I then tacked it into place onto my bra…. And That is it!
To complete the our ensemble, I am working ever-so-hard on a digital pattern of my NEW “Betty” High-Waist Panties… Stay tuned for more info! I am hoping to have it ready to go within the week.
