Question I am making rag bags and was wondering how to make the strip for the closure(to go around the button)most people have a point at the end and I don't quite have it figured out could you explain how long that should be and how to get it to look right?
Answer I haven't ever done this type of closure. I sew a 2-3 inch strip and then attach Velcro to it. The button is purely decorative.
However, if I ever tried this, I would sew two 3" strips together to form a 1.5 inch double sided strip, fold it in half and iron the point. Put your strip ends together, find the middle, and fold the bottom edge out- this should form a point that will go around your button. You can then sew it on at whatever length looks best.
