Camera Strap Cover

I have been in LOVE with camera strap covers ever since the first time I saw one and even more so since I got my DSLR!

I have been eyeballing some over at SheyB, but I already had all the materials so I knew I had to give it a try.  Anyone that knows me, knows that the pink damask has my name all over it! (wink) and the fuzzy fabric is acutally from my daughters crib bumper that I made for her.  Now that she's in a big girl bed, I saved the fabric knowing I'd use it for something. 

And of course I didn't take any pictures while I was making it (I NEVER do, and regret it later when blogging) but here is the completed picture:

I really didn't plan on adding any embellishments, but it was too "naked" just as a cover.  So I rummaged through more of my stuff and came up with more fabirc, satin (for flowers) and beads.  I kinda added as I went along, because it was lopsided, and I am actually really happy with the way it tunrned out.

I have seen cute pockets for the lens cap, but because I didnt sew it into the seams, I didn't know how to add it on.  I wanted to embroider my initials or name or something, but just didn't like it at all.  So I sewed on elastic straps so that I could store the lens cover when I'm not using it, because I tend to lay it down somewhere and forget where that somewhere is...

I added a tag to "pretty up" the elastic and another fabric flower with a few beads.

I am so happy with it, probably because it damask and pink and black - LOVE!!!

I am so happy I finally have this, HOWEVER, I hated doing this project, and will probably never do it again!  I am happy that I didn't invest any money in it and had all the stuff already!!
