ALSO, upholstery and fabric stores sell the standard plastic fasteners
used on many tank bags.  These are two parts, one female socket to
leave on the bike, and a male to stitch to a strap on the bag.  
The male has two prongs on the sides that deform when you shove them
into the female.  Just squeeze to release.  Happy sewing!
