Handmade EDC belt and pouch

Post by undomesticdiva »

Here is my "brand new" belt! It is actually an almost 36 years old camera strap that my hubby got off his dad before he passed away,I've made it into an awesome tribute to him and the photography that he loved so much, it's going to hold my EDC tin and compact camera, then i'm going to make a matching pouch to hold first aid and sewing kit :)

How did you make it?
To prep or not to prep?

There is no question!

The link above is the first one i made, the one on the belt itself i made from the pocket of an old camera bag, i unpicked the stitching and added a back made out of denim and sewed the pocket top back on. You could maybe make one out of an outside pocket from a pair of cargo pants? It'll be a little flimsy though unless you sewed in a thick lining made from denim.

The belt was made from a camera strap, i basically measured it to my waist size and sewed on quick release buckles. Only problem is, it isn't adjustable so i'll have to do a lot of walking! haha :)
