I have been meaning to make a camera strap for a while now, and it was a quick and satisfying project. Everything looks good with Amy’s Lotus Full Moon Spots. I used a tutorial I found at Ikat Bag and bought my strap hardware here. My Mum gave me some black leather from her stash.
Sarah has put in an order for a strap for her video camera – in red and white polka dots!
I added to my collection of polka dot fabrics this week with these lovely Kaffe Fassett Spots.
Spots are super cheerful, don’t you think?

I think I might have to make a camera strap – it’s fab! My favourite spots are Full Moon, in lime green if I had to pick a colour.
Kirsty@Bonjour says

Sweet girls, I wish you have a great week!!! Bela

Great camera strap!
I love spots too – but then yesterday my sweetie was telling me tat they are not very manly. Hmm. I guess I never really did think of that ;D

Great gift for a shutterbug! Yes, polka dots are happy things. I love that line of Amy Butler.

What a fantastic strap you’ve made, and the spotty fabrics look delicious (& which TT shop had the green spots on white?).

Anita says
Love the strap and the dots! I like the way you finished off the ends with a solid dark colour, it really sets it off. It is very neat looking too. Well done. Kind regards, Anita.
Sandrine says

I have one of those in my to do list…I hope I will get to it before Xmas!
Thimbleanna says
I loooovvvveeee all those spots! And you’re so brave — you actually built your strap with the hardware. I took the lazy way out and just re-used an old strap. Your strap is adorable. I’d like to make a few straps for Christmas, but it’s getting late!
Tracy says
Wonderful camera strap, Lisa! I’ve been meaning to add that to my to-make list as well. And nothing like polka dots for cheer and smiles! Happy Days ((HUGS))
