Measure the width of your existing strap.
This will be your guide.
Decide how large the cushioned strap will be.
I decided on 2x the width and added an inch to the length. This is all personal preference.
Cut 4 pieces of your fabric and two of your batting. Batting should be cut slightly smaller than the fabric.
(I am aware there are 4 pieces of batting in the picture.)
Sandwich 1 piece of batting between 2 fabric pieces. Pin down.
Make a guide out of paper or masking tape and pin it near one of the corners, as seen in the picture.
Sew, if machine, needle center set; along the edge of your guide for a nice straight line.
Stitch all the way through. Then stitch perpendicular to your stitched lines.
Repeat steps 4-7 with the other two pieces of fabric and the other piece of batting.
Cut four 1 1/2 inch by 6 inch strips of your fabric, or a second fabric.
Mark the center of the strips. (3/4 inch)
Iron the edges of the strips to the center line.
Optional:You can use an iron on adhesive to create a sturdier edge.
Cut 2 of strips into 3 inch strips and fold over the short ends on each quilted rectangle.
Sew the strips onto the edges.
Sandwich the two rectangular pieces together and pin the last 2 strips on the rough edges.
Sew the strips onto the edges.
Thread your existing strap through your new cushioned neck piece and enjoy!
