How to Make Custom Camera Straps
- 1). Measure the original camera strap's width and length between the leather bindings.
- 2). Trace the camera strap measurements onto fabric. The fabric should be folded right sides together.
- 3). Trace an additional 1 to 1.5cm outside of the first outline traced on the fabric. This is your seam allowance.
- 4). Cut along the outer line. This will leave you with two pieces of fabric.
- 5). Iron down a 0.5cm fold around each piece of fabric. Ensure right sides remain down while ironing.
- 6). Sew the four end pieces, widthwise, down.
- 7). Pin the two pieces of fabric back together. Their right sides should touch.
- 8). Sew the fabric straps lengthwise, leaving the ends open.
- 9). Iron open the seam. An optional stitch along the seam may be added at this point.
