camera strap cover

I made a padded camera strap cover for my new camera to stop the strap from chafing my neck. Super easy! Here are the steps:

1. Measure the length of your strap (just the part you want to cover)
2. Measure the width of your strap and times by 3. Add 1/2 inch for seam allowance.
3. Cut two pieces of fabric the width and height of your measurements.
4. Cut batting the same size. Cut a piece of Velcro the same length as the strap.
5. Sew the fabric and batting together, with fabric wrong sides together. Sew along the length side, but not the width side.
6. Turn the fabric.
7. Sew a top stitch on the short ends, turning them in so the raw edge is folded inside.
8. Sew the Velcro on, one on the edge of one side, and one on the opposite edge of the other.
9. Velcro onto camera strap and you're set!

Here is what the end result turns out to look like:
