Ruffled Camera Strap Cover

I’m taking a one day learn how to use your DSLR seminar today, so I thought I should take the opportunity to pretty up my camera and check another item off my project list.  I’m planning to take copious notes, so I’ll try to share what I learn!  Fortunately I realized it would be hard to take pictures of the camera strap cover while it’s attached to the camera, so these are from before I put it on:

I followed a tutorial from The Cottage Home, and used some stash fabric.  You might recognize the linen from my Un Petit Pouffe, and the turquoise fabric is from one of the aprons I made for the Every Occasion Dress – the tutorial is in a different fabric.  I’ve been doing really well with stashbusting projects lately – both yarn and fabric.  Go me!

This came together easily during a naptime, even with a fussy baby interrupting me every ten minutes or so.  Hadley is a super sleeper at night, but she catnaps during the day, which makes it a little difficult to work on projects.  She also has a runny nose and a cough, so she’s none too pleased with me every time I have to use the sucker on her nose.  Poor baby!

I’ve been trying to put my labels on more of the things I make even if they’re not for my shop – it’s not like I’m going to run out of them any time soon (I ordered 500 of them!).  Unfortunately I forgot to center it with the last seam allowance factored in, so it’s completely off-center.  Oh well, I’m too tired to fix it.
