If you saw my lace tutorial on the Britex Fabrics blog or my couture camisole you saw one my favorite things to make – spaghetti straps! I learned a great technique to make the perfect straps from Susan Khalje a few years ago and it never fails to produce a beautiful result. Here are the step-by-step instructions: 1) Cut two 18” long by 2” wide bias strips, one for each strap. It helps to have the bias strips a little longer than what you need for the final strap to make it easier to sew and to turn the strap. To cut the straps, I use a rotary cutter and a ruler on my Olfa cutting mat where I can line up a corner of the fabric and use the 45-degree lines on the mat. Be sure to cut the straps on the true bias! If you do not, the straps will not end up perfectly flat and smooth.
