biglittle Report post Posted January 10, 2011 My Granddaughter got a new digital SLR for Christmas and has already broke the strap. Of course, she came to Pepaw to make her a new one. I have no clue on camera straps. Any one have a pattern they would be willing to share? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bison Report post Posted January 10, 2011 A guitar strap pattern works well. Just adapt it for the size strap you're making. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIGGUNDOCTOR Report post Posted January 10, 2011 It is just a camera strap. Figure out what length would be best for her, and watch how it fits around the neck. Too stiff, or rough edges will get really annoying after just a short time carrying the camera. Depending on the camera weight, a narrower strap will usually be better than a wide one, as it will have less of a tendency to rub her the wrong way. A cloth neck pad could also be incorporated. Take a trip to a camera store, and see what is available commercially for ideas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biglittle Report post Posted January 10, 2011 Both of those are good ideas. I had thought of the guitar strap, but I have never done one of those either. LOL I see what you mean about the width being annoying, I have written her to see which she prefers and will adjust accordingly. Thanx a heap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
