Ruffled Camera Strap Cover

I was really feeling the winter "blahs" yesterday, and needed a little sunshine, so I decided to go into my fabric stash and see what I could create with it. Keep in mind, my sewing abilities are pretty much limited to straight lines :) It's not one of my strong suits, that's for certain. Anyway, I found some bright yellow fabric (happy, happy, happy!) and some black and white floral and I knew what I wanted to make! A new camera strap cover. I have been seeing such adorable ruffled covers out there and really wanted to learn how to make my own. Thankfully I came across the most amazing and easy-to-follow tutorial on IShare Crafts (which is one of my fun projects that I love). Hers is so gorgeous, and this was only my first attempt, but I know I'll be making more!
What I REALLY love about this particular pattern is, it has an adorable little pocket for my lens cap or my memory cards...or whatever! This is perfect because I have a little problem with losing my lens caps :) I'm so darn professional. Hee hee.


I'm so happy when I look at my new strap cover. I can't wait to make another one! What colors would you use?
