How to Make Spaghetti Straps

Spaghetti straps are a simple addition to any top! With spaghetti straps, you can make a halter, one shoulder, cross back, or even a tied top. You can easily vary the width of these straps to suit your garment. Here's how to make these super easy straps.

1. Cut your fabric strips.
Make them as long as necessary and twice as wide as you need. I am making one inch wide straps, so I need to cut them two inches wide.

2. Sew.
Fold the strips in half, widthwise, with RIGHT sides together (WRONG sides out) and sew down the long edge. Leave a long tail (several inches) of thread at the end.

3. Turn inside right.
To easily turn inside right, attach a safety pin to the tail of thread. Then push the pin through the tube of fabric, using it to pull the fabric through.

Continue to shimmy the safety pin and the fabric through itself, pulling it rightside out.

Once it's right side out, then all you need to do is attach your straps to your garment!
