This bag-making technique is versatile and can be applied to various patterns including cross-body bags, pouches, and wristlets. Unlike d-ring connectors placed in side seams, this method offers enhanced durability as the load direction aligns with the connector, reducing the risk of it pulling out of the seam. Additionally, it yields a slimmer profile for your finished bag. Let's dive in and elevate your bag-making skills!
