All week Amy (from Ameroonie Designs) and I are celebrating our birthdays by making things just for us and just for fun. Yesterday I shared my 241 tote bag. Today I’m sharing my new camera strap cover....
I've been wanting to make one of these ever since my husband bought me a new camera for Christmas. This week was the perfect opportunity to finally make one for myself.
I followed Vanessa’s tutorial over at LBG Studio. I chose this tutorial because it has a lens cap pocket, which is really handy, and also because she made a patchwork version that I really like.
I’ve been using the new strap cover for a couple of weeks now, and I really love it. I love the fabric/color combination... it was a happy accident that I ended up going with these three fabrics and the linen. The strap is nice and wide and cushioned (with fusible fleece). It’s so comfortable.
This was a really great tutorial to follow, and it's a quick sew (even faster if you use one fabric for the outside instead of going with patchwork). My sister caught a glimpse of it over the weekend, and I've been

The strap is pretty~ It also looks comfortable~
Love the birthday banner. I did that for several birthdays but used their names. So useful and festive~
Thanks for sharing - I was thinking about making a camera strap, and I definitely love the pocket for the lense!
So cute Gwen! I really do like the patchwork on the strap. If I ever get a big girl camera- I know where to go. :)

I am definately going to make one of these camera straps for myself and I'm with you the BEST part is the lens cover hold. I have aready lost 2 lens covers and am ALWAYS misplacing the ones I haven't lost! This will be perfect!! Oh and I'm a new follower too (hopped over from Ameroonie Designs).
Gwen, I love it! I love when I find a way to bring little scraps of fabric I love into my everyday life. And carting around my camera is definitely part of my everyday life. Might have to give this one a try!
Love the linnen you used with the other fabrics. After I looked at the tutorial, I figured out how it worked. Very clever!
That's a great pattern and so cool that it has that lens cap holder in there. Looks so comfy around the neck too. I could use one of those big time!
I really love the fabrics and the lens cap holder is genius! And that banner that Amy made is so great!!
Simple project with great rewards I bet!! Love it:>)
1. I love this, and have been wanting one of my own.
2. SHOW YOUR FACE!!! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! :))
So so cute! What a great idea, I have a ton of scraps in my scrap bag that I could use for this. Perfect way to use some of them
I love the fabrics! And thanks for the link -- I keep thinking I should make one of these for my friend to match the camera bag I made her, and I ONLY have scraps left. Perfect!
I love this strap!! I also love the contrasting fabrics you used. I'm stopping by from "Fabric Tuesday Quiltstory" linky party.
I posted a wool coat I just finished. come on by my blog when you have a moment: http://craftybrooklynarmywife.blogspot.com/2011/05/wool-buffalo-check-coat-finished.html
I recently took a photography class and really want to get better with my camera and thought I was going to find an adorable strap cover on Etsy.. but maybe you just motivated me to make my own!
Adorable love it....
