One more Christmas present made

This year cash is tight for everyone, and our extended family decided not to do gifts for each other and rent a beach house instead.  I decided to cheat and make presents for everyone. More money to spoil  with the kids with anyway.This got me in the spirit, and made me want to make stuff for everyone on my Christmas list this year. One of my oldest friends is a photographer. So of course I was gonna make her a camera strap cover. Duh right?

I know there are TONs of tutorials out there on how to make these covers, and mine is not really different from those except for its mine. :-)

Here is the basic how to:

Supply list

Cotton Fabric 1/4 a yard of each color

Thread Fusible  interfacing

Rotary Cutter/Scissors
Iron

First I cut out all my rectangles 4in by 2.5in.

 I serged the sides before I sewed the pieces together.

Then I trimmed up the sides making the strip 27in long by 3in wide.

Then I cut a strip the same length and width for the back.

Then I ironed the interfacing on.

Sewed and serged the two strips together, also finished the ends. Then I folded the ends over an inch and made two rows of stitches.

Closed it up and turned it right side out.

All Done! The best part is I made it.:-) Hope she likes it. Merry Christmas Michelle

Lookie at the new patterns I bought

With a list of Christmas projects a mile long I had to stop by Etsy and look at patterns. I found these (in my opinion) must haves. On sale too!
