Recently I have been given a beautiful scarf. Since I am unfortunately cursed and scarfs doesn´t become me, I simply changed the scarf to a camera strap. I didn´t touch the original seams of the strap, because I did not want to lose the warranty for my camera and instead sewed a cover for the strap. And as always, I also have a tutorial for you:
Material and tools
A scarf, scissors, measuring tape, two snaps, a snap attaching tool and everything for sewing.
Step 1
First you have to measure the length of your camera strap and shorten your scarf to the appropriate length.
Step 2
Once you have folded your scarf lengthways, sew it together – right sides facing.
Step 3
Now turn the fabric at both ends of the scarf inwards and sew the hem. I like the contrast of white and pink but of course you can also select yarn in the color of the fabric to make the seam invisible.
Step 4
Next, I sewed two mini-straps from small fabric rectangles. First I folded the fabric lengthwise, sewed it right sides together and turned the straps.
Step 5
To attach the snaps I’ve used a snap attachment tool.
Step 6
As a last step you just have to pull the camera strap through the cover and gather the fabric at the ends with the two mini-straps.
