Sewing my own camera-strap slipcover and CyberMonday LR3 sale!


I love to sew but I haven't used my sewing machine much the last years. However, I saw this excellent
 camera-strap tutorial and had to try making my own.

I decided against ruffles (partly because my husband would freak out when he needed to use my camera) and found some fabric scraps left over from my cloth diaper-making adventures. I knew the boys would be helping AND I hadn't sewn for over a year, so I needed practice material.

The strap was so easy to put together (Amanda's measurements were exactly on for my Canon strap) and I am really pleased with the results. Next, a trip to the fabric store to pick up something a bit more me, yet not too girly so my husband won't refuse to use the camera. ;-)  It is so nice to be sewing again.

As I was typing this post, I noticed that Amazon has the full version of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 for less than $200!  If you don't have LightRoom yet (I love that program and would not be without it), today might be a good time to order to catch this amazing deal (it could change any moment).  I have LightRoom 2 and I was hoping the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 Upgrade price would be less today, but at approx. $95 it is still a steal.
