Fashion & Apparel Sewing

Whether you're team Nikon or team Canon, I think we can all agree that the camera straps are pretty ugly. I'm going to cover an existing camera strap with new fabric and make a detachable lens cover pouch to go with it. This strap makes my camera feel unique and gives it some personality. This project is so easy, you can change out the fabric whenever you feel like it.

Magnetic snaps are a great fastener solution for many types of bags as well as other accessories and clothing. We offer them in two finishes: Dritz Magnetic Snaps (Silver) Dritz Gilt Magnetic Snaps (Gold) Despite the professional look, adding them to your project is easy. Here are a few quick steps for attaching magnetic snaps.

Way back in 2015 we made a tutorial on how to make a simple wristlet. It's always been one of my favorites and I got a lot of use out of it. I've made many since then for myself and for presents and have improved the design over time. I updated the pattern sizes and added a zipper compartment. This new zipper compartment can hold cards and cash in a more secure way than the first model.

Need the perfect beach bag? I got you covered. This beach bag is made out of Phifertex Standard Solids and an outdoor fabric so it is super cute, waterproof, and most importantly, allows sand and crumbs to pass through the bottom of the bag while keeping your valuables safe. This bag is super customizable, so you can make it in any color combination and size. They are inexpensive to make and make great gifts.

Bags. If it isn't painfully obvious, we love them over here at OFS. I probably have a bag for every day of the month and guess what- I am not done creating more. Enter the Slouchy Backpack. Debatably the king of all bags, this one gets bonus points because it can be tied as a backpack and an over the shoulder bag.
