But before doing so, I suggest that you make needle holes first (as highlighted in green in the left image above). And the right image shows the same strap after I cut out the section that was stretched and thinned.Īfter removing the worn-out section from the strap, I sewed the cut edges back together. The center image above shows a worn strap. If you need to remove existing stitches before cutting the strap, I recommend that you use a seam ripper, as shown on the left in the photo above. If the wear of your leather strap is in a place where you cannot attach the strap to your bag, then you will probably have to overlap the two ends or add a layer of leather or fabric to reinforce the new joint when reconnecting the cut strap. Note: My repair job worked well because I was able to sew the repaired section of the leather strap to the bag itself, thereby reinforcing the joint.
If your bag or backpack has a leather strap that is getting thin or is starting to rip, like the straps of my backpack shown above, then you may be able to repair it by CUTTING OUT the sections that are worn out!
In this post, I want to share how I repaired the leather straps of one of my favorite backpacks. But some are so well made and loved that they are worth mending many times over. Even the highest quality bags experience wear and tear with use.
