Another Camera Strap Cover?!

 

So, it turns out that I'm still not done making camera strap covers...I scored a custom order for one over the weekend!  The buyer found my last remaining camera strap cover on Etsy, and noticed that I am able to personalize them.   With a little bit of back-and-forth,  I agreed to create the camera strap cover he was looking for, which was nothing like the one in the listing!  We found fabric he liked by viewing other items in my shop (and I still happen to have enough of), then he added the personalized embroidery and padding to the design of the strap.

The fabrics in this camera strap are two of my favorites!  I also enjoy adding the  fancy stitching to my camera strap covers; the detailing gives them a nice, finished look.  However, a little secret, I hate adding the padding.  I think it makes the straps look bulky.  I guess it's the price you pay for comfort.

 So I'm thinking about adding a listing for customized camera strap covers...but I'm not sure.  I currently have some other ideas brewing that I hope to work on soon!

The Camera Strap Cover Craze!

Egged on by my sister-in-law, who is always on top of what is hip and trendy, unlike me, I whipped up a few of camera strap covers that slip on over a digital SLR camera strap.  She shared with me the entry on this blog: Camera Strap Cover Tutorial, but I just decided to put one together on my own. Here's the first one I made:

It came out okay, but a little bulky. I added a soft fleece on the inside for padding... but I really didn't think it made any difference in the comfort of the strap.  I think they're really more for spicing up that boring black strap, anyway.

A lot of the straps I made are now for sale on my etsy site.  I think they turned out rather cute...I guess it's too bad that I use a little point-and-shoot and not an SLR.   My husband as one though, and he liked this one so much, he insisted on putting on his camera!
