can you guess what they are?

remember my birthday? it was back in early june and michael was going to buy me a camera strap cover because i pretty much always complain about how ugly the nikon strap is that came on my camera.

ugly. or at least (at the very least), not pretty.

(sorry the picture is so small… any bigger and you could even more clearly see how gross and yellowed the grout is in that table. why did i just tell you that?)

but it’s now september (!!) and i stillll had an ugly black and yellow strap. so i took matters into my own hands.

i found a super easy tutorial online, which was probably not even necessary since this has to be the easiest sewing project ever. really, i just needed some unnecessary hand holding, since i’m not an expert seamstress.
i taught myself to sew and now attempt to do things i’m not qualified to do. although, this, i would say, has no prequalifications necessary. it was super easy and it actually took longer to get my sewing machine out and then stowed away again afterward than it did to actually sew the two little strap covers.
…maybe that’s because it is stored in the guestroom/office closet (as in, the only closet in the whole apartment except for our bedroom closet), in the back corner, behind the linens, behind the fake christmas tree and jewish colored christmas ornaments, and in a large Tupperware container that is sitting underneath our luggage.

annnnyyywwaaays, here it is in action!
