Tutorial: Make purse ring straps, plus a cutting guide for different size rings

Ring tabs are often used to attach a purse strap to a bag. Most bag sewing patterns and tutorials will give instructions for making them, but the dimensions they give are generally to fit one size of ring. What if you have a different size? Or what if you want to add ring straps to a purse pattern? Deanna from Sew McCool has a handy post for you. She has a tutorial showing how to make the ring straps, and gives a cutting guide with measurements to make ring tabs to fit 1/2″, 1″, 1 1/2″, and 2″ purse rings. Go to Sew McCool for the tutorial and the cutting guide.
