Camera Strap Cover Tutorials

Remember how a while back I mentioned that I was getting out of the Camera Strap Cover business? I'm finally starting to take that plunge. As much as I love the covers, I am ready to put on my big girl panties and start making the real deal!

You can find all of these and many more at Designs by Jessie Measurements:
•Length of strap - 45 inches
•Nylon Strap Length - 6 inches
•Width of fabric strap - 2 inches
•Width of Nylon strap - 1/2 inch

I understand that not everyone is going to want a longer strap, so I do have an alteration option. For only 5 dollars you can opt to have your camera strap altered. Length, width, extra padding etc.

I will also soon have options on the site to build your own strap. You will be able to choose, your length, padding amount, width, fabric, minky, and regular or quick connect ends.

There are several of these loaded in the shop right now, and will be more to come!



So now after you have seen the new item, its a little understandable on why I'm going to give out the secret to the other product. Lets face it. Its not much of a secret. All you have to do is google camera strap cover tutorial, and you will get pages and pages of tutorials. I have decided to narrow that down for you. These are some of my favorite.



Priddy Creations has an awesome tutorial, and what is unique about hers is she also shows you how to line it for a very clean finish. Tutorial~Picture is from Priddy Creations Blog~

This tutorial just came out a bit ago, but its so cute. I found this one on Moda Bake Shop Blog, Its by Brassy Apple. It uses charm packs from Moda. Tutorial ~Picture is from Moda Bake Shop Blog~Ohhh I love this next one. Make It and Love It is one of my favorite blogs for all kinds of sewing inspiration. She is the place I go and think..

This is a new fabric selection that I have just picked up. Its also a sneak peak of some of the additions I'm going to put in my store come January.

Its a cover for a composition book, you know the ones that are .50 around back to school time? I pick up tons of them as all my kids use them. I use them as Idea books, note books, book keeping, and I keep a special one for the holidays to jot down idea, recipes, addresses and really anything holiday related. I have a scrapbooking one that I can jot down sketches, websites, lists of things I want to buy, and they are slim enough to fit in most purses.

So this giveaway is for One Composition cover, and 2 Camera Strap covers in the same fabric. $45 dollar in value.

Say goodbye to that raw neck - this strap slip cover will be so much more comfortable and unique! This strap slip cover is -removable- and is machine washable! Buy a couple and switch them out!!

It is designed to fit over your SLR or DSLR camera strap. It is 21 inches long and 2 3/4" wide; I have purchased some at 2 1/2 inches and they are hard to get on, so I make mine a little wider. It will fit most standard camera straps.

To enhance durability and prevent slipping, the camera strap cover is lined with fleece interfacing, which also adds some padding for comfort.

This strap also has the most useful accessory you need: the lens pocket!. It is the perfect gift for any photographer, including yourself!

This Strap Cover is backed with Minky Fabric

Minky is an incredibly soft and plush "micro-fiber" fabric. These "melt-in-your-hand" fabric styles are great for baby blankets, baby clothes, pillows, robes -- anything that should be -- or needs to be -- soft!!

Shipping is always FREE! International Included

Getting Back on Track

OMG, we are supposed to have snow today! In Houston! What a topsy turvy world we live in. Hurricanes in the Summer and now snow in the winter!

Correction.. It IS Snowing outside, RIGHT NOW! Now on to the actual post...

The last 6 mos have been crazy, just insanely so. Big plans, and even bigger ideas. Some have panned out, and others not so. Sometimes Big plans and big ideas just stayed that .. ideas. So after careful reflection of this year I'm setting out to make some changes. For Designs by Jessie to be successful, things cant keep going the way they are going. I'm always behind, always struggling to keep up. I'm living in a tornado of chaos and crazy. I miss creating new things, working on new ideas, and designing for the joy of it.

So in saying all of that.... I will be closing my shop on December 18th. It won't be closing for good, but I will be restructuring it, adding new sections and new products, expanding, and decreasing. The virtual doors will reopen on January 15th with a new structure, ready to ship items, and a new line for ...... Well you have to wait until the 15th!

For the next few days I will be adding some ready made, ready to ship items. These are all fully loaded either with minky and a pocket, or just a pocket. Of course all strap covers are padded and Shipping is FREE!

All Products will be shipped out next day until the end of the sale on the 18th.
