Camera Strap

Remember the Fabric.  This is what I did with it.  I was 'cruising' the internet and on the ihearfaces blog they have some tutorials I was going through and one of them was How to Make your own Camera Strap. I have seen these on other blogs and you can buy them for oh $25.  So I was excited when I found the tutorial.  I thought to myself "self! how hard could that be?"

So I enlisted my MIL (mother-in-law) to help and they didn't turn out too shabby.  I did all the sewing, she was there to hold my hand. =0)

 I'm not the best seamstress so it is FAR from perfect.  I think it turned out pretty cute...even though I ended up making 2 because I wanted it longer then my first one turned out...and I forgot to add a pocket for my lens cover (this was not in the instructions, I just wanted to add it.)  (MIL added it after the fact on the first one).  We made a few tweaks from the tutorial, but it was a great guide.  If I make another one I might even make a few more changes.

This one had its challenges as well, just because I'm not very good, but it didn't turn out too shabby for having to re-sew one side 3 times!!

Its pretty comfy as well since it has fleece interfacing on the inside, so its like a pillow on my neck.  I may make a couple more....we shall see. I'm thinking I should have picked out black fabric instead of brown since my camera is black...but Brad says it looks like me.  We'll see.
