777Leathers Report post Posted January 3, 2015 Hey guys anyone have any patterns for a camera sling like the one in my photo or know where I can locate one? Any help would be grateful! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camano ridge Report post Posted January 3, 2015 Are you looking for just the sling or the case also? The sling looks like just an adjustable strap you can put any kind of snap hooks on. If you are refering to the case, easy enought to make your own pattern to fit your camera. Ste your camera down on a file folder or poster board draw the outline of the camera then draw the shap of the bottom/back of case drawing the shape you. In the picture it looks like theback or bottom of the case is double thickness leather glued and sewen together with loops for D rings. For the top part of the case just sit the camera on the bottom piece then take a piec of file folder or what ever you are using and wrap it around the camera lens and body until it touches the bottom piece on each side draw lines to cut the pattern to the shape of the camera as in the picture. You now have the patternfor the two primary pieces of the case place straps where you want them. It looks like the part covering the lens is closed at the end. By leaving it open you can use different length lenses. Hope this helps. I don't have a pattern but that is how I would make one. looking at the picture I just might have to make a pattern and a case for my camera. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

camano ridge Report post Posted January 4, 2015 This video shows all sides and angles of the case. Gives a pretty good idea how to build your own. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stewartjlh Report post Posted April 16, 2015 Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been wanting something better to carry around my new Nikon - the camera bag it came with is bulky, heavy, and just a pain in the rear. This gives me a great place to start, and my mind is already tossing around little changes I'd make. Thanks again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
