Recently a friend asked me if I could make her a camera strap. Not a strap cover but the whole strap. I said I could most likely manage that. She then sent me this link. And I came up with this.
‘B’ because her name starts with B.
The small key rings that will attach to the camera came from Jo-Ann Fabrics. The larger rings that the strap is stitched to came from Lowes. In the hardware department. I love Lowes. I get all excited feeling when I get to go to Lowes with Trav. You just never know what you might discover that can be repurposed!
The ruffled ribbon I had purchased several weeks ago from this etsy shop
The fabric is a drop cloth from Menards.

Neat strap, very fitting for your friend!
her email to me after she got it indicated she was pretty happy with it!
I think you are on to something. You can drop me a note with what you will be charging, I might just want to be a trend setter.

I need a camera. Then I’ll need a strap. Can you help me with the first? :o) Love this. Love the contrast between the industrial fabric and the ruffle.
I can tell you where to buy a camera if that is what you need! Sorry I don’t have an old one sitting around to give you 🙁 you know what happened to my old one!!!
I was totally kidding, I have a cheap digital that my dad gave me when he bought a new one. It works for no more than what I do. I’m good to take candids of my boys.
Love it! Nice job!
Awesome! Totally. I love cute stuff!

hey! my name starts with b !!! is that really a surprise for ME?? just kidding! but really, Jill, i LOVE it!!
