Not the fanciest project but wanted to show that there's a MYOG project for anyone.
I bought a new camera. I wanted a way to securely carry it that was as lightweight as possible and wasn't bulky I didn't like most of the straps on the market. Either looked cheap or the aesthetics weren't minimalist enough or they had the thinnest cheap attachment cord.
I had previously purchased a bunch of webbing in different sizes and weights from Strapworks. Not quite as nice as what RSBTR has but they don't sell a 3/8" webbing. I used a 1/2" split ring I had and hand sewed it with Mara 50.
I didn't start by cutting a piece off. I first doubled back 3/4" and clipped it at the ring, sewing 1/2" so the ring won't slide and then measured my hand opening using quilting clips as I tested it. It's big enough to slide my hand in.
I cut and melted the end and then butted it against the existing tail, holding with clips again. I sewed it on by hand including sewing across where the two ends meet so they can't lift up. It's more aesthetic that way as well. I dabbed a tiny amount of gel superglue on the knots to keep the thread from coming loose.
It's a bit messy up close but the black on black passes the arm length test.
It weighs 5 grams.
