sc in each sc across the end of flap, 3 sc in corner, sc in each row
down the side of flap. Join in purse body.

Row 1: Ch 6, sc in 2nd cha and in each ch across: 5 sc. Ch 1, turn.

Note: You will be working through both the strap and the purse in sts
indicated. This will make for a stronger strap. You will also be doing
this on both sides of the purse and then will sew together the strap to
make a contiuous strap.

Row 2: Holding purse with one side and the top facing you, joining in
Row 6 down from purse top in 2nd sc from side seam, sc in both first sc

Note: if the strap is not long enough you can always add more rows. When
adding more rows make sure that one side has one more row than the other
side. This makes a more even joining when you sew the straps together.

Repeat for other strap. Weave the 2 straps last rows together.

sc in next ch, * sc in each end of row to next beg ch of next strap. 3
