Handle wrap at Loralye's request. (Modelled by my ukulele case!)


Hoop tear away stabiliser. The first colour is a placement line. Add a layer of suitable fabric with a bit of padding and stitch colour 2. This will include the outline for the first piece of Velcro. Lay the hooked half of a piece of Velcro face up, to cover the placement. Colour 3 will stitch it down.

The next colour will stitch the word - replace with anything you like.

Add another layer of fabric beneath the hoop. Colour 5 will stitch it in place and also give the placement for the other part of the Velcro. Place the soft Velcro over the placement beneath the hoop. Colour 6 will stitch it down. Trim away excess fabric before stitching the final colour which is the satin stitch. I used a non-fray fabric and didn't trim until the stitching was complete.

Measure your handles before you start stitching - you may want to resize the design and use a bigger hoop. Don't go mad though, because resizing will change the Velcro attachment as well as the overall size.

I just made two for my luggage. I am going on a trip next week. The only thing I had trouble with was the part where the Velcro was stitched on. (the thread kept breaking)
I decided to do that on my regular machine and they look beautiful. Thanks

Thank you so much. I see this as an ''add to'' in b'day, Xmas, cards etc as a nice little remembrance gift. Great idea for "just a little something". You are so generous with your talent.

Thank you so much for this handy, easy and very quick design. I like having the choice of words/designs, too.
It's possible, too, to spray-glue a layer of batting (for padding) beneath the hoop before adding the second layer of fabric over it and stitching Colour 5. That might mean some extra fine trimming and maybe a repeat of the satin stitch edging but this very simple design, making such a useful article, would be well worth the effort. What do you think, Sue?

The satin stitch would probably need to be wider.

almag by almag 14 Apr 2013

Oh, yes, I didn't think of that. I still love this design for quick and very useful gifts. I'm so grateful for your input. Always love those clear instructions, too.
