Camera Strap Cover
With Lens Pocket
Please read all instructions before beginning. | Use a .25” seam allowance. |
WOF is assumed to be 40”. Finished size is 33" x 3". |
Materials
2 contrasting/coordinating fabrics, ¼ yard each
Fusible fleece
Cutting Instructions
Cut (1) 35” x 4” strip from each fabric. One will be the top fabric A, one will be the bottom/back fabric B.
Cut (1) 4” x 6.5” stripe from fabric B for the pocket piece.
Cut (1) 33” x 3” strip of fusible fleece.
Construction
1 Fuse the 35” strip of fabric B to the strip of fusible fleece. The reverse side of fabric B will be facing up, and the fusible side of the fleece will be facing down. I found it easiest to start at the middle and work toward the ends. I spent time smoothing and pinning, to keep everything centered.
2 Now is the time to add some faux quilting lines on the back fabric, if you want.
3 Fold the fabric B pocket piece in half, wrong sides together. Baste or pin it to one end of top fabric A, matching raw edges.
4 Join both long strips of fabric on one long side, only. Back stitch at each end. Stitch a parallel seam next to the fleece, back stitch at each end again. Press seam toward fabric A.
5 At each short end of the combined strip, fold the raw edge up, toward the edge of the fleece, you’ll have about .5” left, and double stitch.

6 Fold the long strip, right sides together, stitch, as in step 4, turn strap right side out, tread your camera’s strap thru, and enjoy.
Now, the give away. I made a prototype, to make sure I knew what I was doing. Guess what? I did, I knew what I was doing. It turned out great, and I've decided to give it away.
Here's how to win:
