Ruffled Camera Strap

Number one on my sewing projects for 2011 is complete.  The camera strap was oh so easy to make. 

 I think I would've whipped out a few of these babies if it hadn't been for being cooped up in the house for nearly a week .  I took my two year old to his mammy and pa's and I went home and did a little sewing.  The only problem was I wanted to be outside and not because the weather was warm and sunshiny, but because I couldn't sit still.  We had blizzard conditions and over a foot of snow Tuesday and added probably an additional 2-4 inches on top of it today. I have a serious case of cabin fever and wanted to get outside.  It was hard for me to focus on sewing but I needed to get some projects started and completed.  The camera strap was project #1.

I followed to tutorial on cluck cluck sew.  The link is below.

Class Assignment #1

I'm taking my first photography class.  The class began last Saturday and will continue for two more Saturdays.  I'm learning how to use my camera in something other than auto mode. I have two class assignments due tomorrow and the first assignment photos are posted below.  I had to take five pictues using the manual mode on my camera with an ISO of 100/200, white balance-sunlight, shutter speed 1/125 sec. and a neutral meter reading.
