What are the exact measurements for the straps and where exactly do you sew the straps? I am going to give it a go soon.

[sewsweet08]

@silverscreamgrl i cut them 3 inches wide and as long as you want them. i made this one super long to go across my chest. i think i may have edited the measurements during the speed up. and camera failed on the section with strap sewing but its as you normally sew straps either make a tube and turn through or cheat and fold in edges and then in half and top sew. i place them in evenly from the sides about an inch to 2 inches.

you can add a pocket to carry notes or change too.

@silverscreamgrl i had to work this one out for myself the ones i found werent as efficiently made.they had the circle bottoms etc. anyhow i would love to see you try my pattern out . more the merrier.anyone is free to use this and thanks for the comments i ppreciate it. i do have iron on plastic for lining but they wash easy and esp with water inside it doesnt harm it as everything dries in half an hour here in summer. hope u make one soon

Awesome that you got a tripod and can do tutorials now :)

Great job. Looks pretty darn cool. I have a pattern for them but want to use waterproof fabric on the inside or something to help keep it cool but I would have to special order and have it shipped in.
