The bikini strap is one of the smallest and most important components of a bikini for the simple reason that its main purpose is keeping the bikini top from falling down. To avoid this mortifying situation, you have to make sure you hem the end of a bikini strap properly.Step1
Inspect the strap. After you've sewn the strap, take a close look at the stitching to make sure that the strap is sturdy and not going to fall apart. If you see places in which the stitching looks weak or doesn't cover both sides of the strap, re-stitch over that area.

Step2
Turn the strap right side out. Begin at one end of the strap and roll the top down over itself so
the right side is visible. Continue turning the material until the majority of the strap is right side out. Step3
Stop turning the strap right side out when you get about 1/4 inch from the bottom. Keep this end tucked inside of the strap in order to finish the hem.
Step4
Inspect the end of the strap to make sure you tuck the ends inside the strap smoothly before you begin sewing the final hem. This avoids bumps in the finished hem.
Step5
Stitch the hem of the bikini strap. Run two to three rows of short stitches to hem up the strap. You need to use more than one row of stitches to make sure the strap can withstand moderate to heavy use.
