Our advice

• On a patterned fabric containing green, choose the shade that is most present in the print, or the darkest if you hesitate.
• For a thick canvas, use a stronger needle than for a light fabric to avoid skipped stitches.
• On a bag, topstitch the handles in parallel rows: the greyish green gives a sober look.
• Test on a double drop before sewing the heavily stressed areas.

Pair it with cotton canvas or corduroy. A cotton strap will make beautiful handles.
