Learning To Make Guitar Straps

Recommended Posts

There will be a sewing machine in my future. I can't take this hand stitching 100" +. The skin is wearing off my index fingers.

Strap # 1

My tooling still isn't up to snuff, but I am getting better every time I try.

The hand stitching looks great. Just stick your fingers in ice and keep going.

With the help of my new sewing machine, I finished sewing the felt on my strap

Learning to use the sewing machine is going to be a trick. Its super quick, and really easy to get the stitching crooked.
