I live with a band, well 2 of the 4 bandmates, and so while practice is happening I try to find something to do while wearing earplugs. It just happens to be the perfect time for crafting.
This week's band night project: A GUITAR STRAP
I needed a guitar strap that better matched "Luna", my ol' Seagull Folk guitar.
This one is made from fabric scraps and recycled leather scraps. The inside is some brown fleece I found and is so comfy on my skin. I just quilted a 5 in wide and meter long line of fabric and sewed the same size piece of fleece on the front. I turned it inside out and cut 2 pieces of leather for the ends. Sewed the leather onto the end- leaving some on the inside to also sew a "strength square" so the leather would not detach from the fabric part of the strap. I then cut a hole in the leather for the strap-locks and sewed along the edge for a clean look.
Voila! A funky and fun, one of a kind guitar strap just for me!
