Camera Strap Love

Well, this was my real first sewing endeavor! It turned out ok! It has two of my favorite things, PINK and PAISLEY! Well, paisley and argyle tie for second! Anyway... I made the camera strap and am happy with the result and it has a little detail that I want to add, but will get to it when I have a chance, I know "haha"...

First, I just laid out the strap on some fabric and traced it...

Then, I just pinned everything about a couple cm away from where I traced... (everything is inside out)

I started stitching on the ends so that the ends/ bottom would be creased/ sealed with a stitch when I stitched down the sides. So, I just fliped over the end, ran a stitch (two flaps for each end)

Then, just run down the sides! I was excited at this point, because the ends were the teadious parts. Also, keep in mind, I am just winging it here and have no idea what I am doing besidea just trying to use my "problem solving skills" to make this work! So, I ran a stich down either side and cut the excess. I stayed a little bit away from my trace of the strap figuring I would need a little room for the strap.

And, 11-enty billion hours later once your pudgy finger and thumb with a VERY technical rubbing method get the silly thing turned inside out, then get the thing on the camera strap, it looks something like this... except my camera didn't want to shoot it because it was too close, because your's truely put the strap back together before getting an "after" shot and the little camera's battery was not charged. Nonetheless, it is on there and I don't think it is going anywhere! Once I do the little design, I will update it!
