i think i love you...... made my hippie strap for our new camera and i LOVE it! it turned out pretty awesome i have to say. it was so easy i want to make more of them, maybe for christmas, people will be getting some!
the hardware we bought from the fabric store and i used some black fabric i had laying around and all i needed to do was just iron the folds for the back, pin it and then sew and that was pretty much it! i love easy sewing projects. plus knowing that i saved about $30 feels really good, hippie camera straps run around $40 or more!
if you make a hippie strap i would love to see it!
yesterday started my 7 day work week :( so i will be a busy little beaver while my lovely co-worker has some much needed family time off. after my 7 day work week tom and i are taking our 3 day anniversary escape, i can't wait!!!
have a great weekend everyone, mourn for me while i slave away :( hehehe

I LOVE the hippy strap!! I find it so hard to get cute vintage trim like that here:(
ReplyDeleteLove your camera strap! And that is great how much money you saved making one! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit too! So autumn :)
I hope your work week goes by quickly. That is great you have something so fun to look forward to!

My dad has always had the same strap on his camera, every since I was a baby, I've always thought it was kind of girly, with the hippy floral design. This one reminds me of his vintage one, same color scheme. (although he would never call it vintage, that would make him feel old)
ReplyDeletethat camera strap is fantastic! and ohh how wonderful to at least have something to look forward to at the end of your long work week :)
ReplyDeletewoah- that hippie strap is pretty amazing. my mom used to have one like that when she had a camera. awesome job!
ReplyDeletewow it turned out great. the strap on our camera is is desperate need of being changed i need to face my fears and learn to sew. this turned out lovely! good luck with your long work week!
ReplyDeleteIf you're sellin, I'm buyin.
ReplyDeletecan you make a shop or teach me how to make one?! i think either option would be great because it would me i'd finally be able meet you since you're just across the bay ;)
ReplyDeleteI love it! I actually don't have a camera strap and I've been looking at them on Etsy for a while, but maybe I'll just make one myself. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your long work week. I hope it isn't too stressful. At least you have something to look forward to! Anniversary escape sounds wonderful. :)
Reminds me of the one that my dad had in the seventies! I think my camera needs one of these - blog giveaway? ; )
