Here’s what I mean by the different sewing techniques on the inside hem. The top bag was made with only a straight stitch machine, so the strap had to be folded into the hem on each side of the bag, which was then ironed and folded again to hide the edges inside the fold, and straight stitched closed. Then a box stitch was added to reinforce the attachment point of the strap. The thread ends were then threaded into the fold by hand with a needle, tied securely, and hidden inside the fold.
The bottom bag was made with an over locker machine, which makes those nice loops to keep the fabric from fraying. A straight stitch is added just inside the overlocked bit to hold the sides together.
