Pens - the weakest place of shopping bags. They tormented that to break away, then to tear off at all. Change them best on durable, strong handles from the old or randomly damaged travel bag. But just sew them - not the most successful solution. There is one trick here.
The cunning is to cut the handles from the road bag along with the fragments of the sidewall. After all, they are attached to the factory way, as a rule, very reliably.
Procedure for replacing the handles of the shopping bag:
1. Preparing new handles.
Gently labeled and cut the handle from the road bag. Throughout the perimeter, sidewall fragments make punctures for future stitches.
2. Cooking a bag.
We disappear handles that have become unusable.
Place the places of fastening new ones.
3. Send knobs.
For greater strength, sew the handle with a fishing line.
We pave the seam twice - first alternating stitches on the face and inside, then the opposite. We get a solid seam.
Send both pens on the bag.
Then, also on the markup, rear.
4. Bag is ready.
Such handles hold very hard. "Loading" bags, thanks to them, significantly increases.
