This weekend I've been in the crafty/sewing mood,and I only like doing things that don't take any longer then a day.
So after some thought I figured I'ld make my new camera a pretty strap cover,because I was planning on doing it soon anyway.
I'm rarely happy with the way things end up turning out 'when I sew them',but I actually REALLY like it.
The colors match my blog designs color scheme too. =)
Oh,and I know I need to trim off the thread....
lol,and I seem to forget to trim off the thread when I finish a project,until after Itake photos. ; )

Next was repurposing a shirt that had some.... I think...... they were blech stains on it.....huh...anywho,I saw THIS tutorial a few weeks ago and thought 'I could use that pink shirt upstairs for this',but I kinda liked this shirt and I always put on a cute sweater with it,but today I decied I was going to do it.
So I pinned where I was going to cut.
Cut 3 strips using the leftover (the bottom half of the shirt.)
Ruffled them up.
sewed them on...
Added 3 yo-yo flowers....and I was finished.
It came out very cute and suits me perfectly!
I'm planning on wearing it to my violin recital thats coming up in a few weeks....
I'll have to do a whole outfit post. ;)
Ihate throwing away scraps so Iquickly wrapped the extra around my head as a headband,but I definitely like the shrug better.

My hopefully next project is when stores start having flip-flops on sale,
I might be doing an engagement photo session next sunday,I'm very excited!
It would be for my brother,but still exciting for me.
IF I do and when I post the photos I would very much like everyones opinon on them. =)
Have a blessed week everybody.

I am in love with the camera strap. I need to make one! (shrug is cute, too)
What a great idea, just adorable. Thanks for sharing!!
That is so cute. I don't think I could ever do it. It looks way too hard.
that is ADORABLE!!!!!!!! oh my goodness! it looks like so much fun and id really like to try it! i looked at the origional tutorial that you followed. i like the way you sewed the ruffle ontop of the shirt (whereas the other tutorial sewed it as a seam around the edges!) but i wanted to see how you did the back of yours? i couldnt tell if you did the ruffle clear around the back, or ended it at the sides. - if you could drop by my blog and leave me a comment! i would appreciate it! :D (thoughts from a cowgirl)

Hey,
Thanks for your sweet comment.
The ruffle on the shrug just went to the side seams on the shirt. I didn't have enough to go all the way around.
Glad you liked it. :)
If you ever do it yourself and post photos, comment with a link I'ld love to see it.
