Fold with the pattern on the inside and pin on the long side.

Sew the long seam for each loop.

Tie off each end.

Use a safety pin to connect to one end of the loop, push it inside and through to make the loop correct side out.

Step 7: To attach Optional Cross Body Loop:

Pin all three pieces together
