Making a Strap for a Homemade Camera Bag

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm candi Cane-Canncel, with Expert Village. So in this clip I'm going to show you how to create your strap. You want to cut a piece about twenty-six inches long and then probably about two, two and a half inches wide. So I'm just going to trim this down. Again this is personal preference. If you want to have a thicker strap you could make it thicker. If you want a longer or shorter strap, just adjust the measurements accordingly and because this is vinyl what we're going to do is actually sew the strap together from the right side. Now usually, when you're sewing a strap or any type of thing that you're going to use for a strap, you'll do it inside out. But in this case we're just going to do it right side. So you have your piece cut out to your desired length and width. And what we're going to do is just fold it over. We're actually going to be stitching this strap on the right side. Because it's vinyl it's really difficult to turn inside out. So, you just measure up the two sides. Go all the way down folding over and just match it up as perfectly as you can. We could also go back at the end and trim this a little bit so it's even more perfect. But you want to try to get it as straight as you can. So fold it over and you pin it, and then we're ready to stitch it. "
