6 friday.

So happy today is Friday! The day was started off right with some fun mail that arrived at my doorstep.

Fabric!! I haven't bought fabric in forever. Seriously, the last fabric I bought was some Habitat in April! But I needed to pick up some things for Sewing Summit swaps and a quilt I'll be making when I get back, so I added in a few extras (okay, more than a few) to add to the stash. I've been doing a good job of using what I have here but I'm a little sick of using the same prints all the time. Hopefully this will help with that.  I picked up some Heirloom, 1001 Peeps, and the Tarika print by Dena Fishbein in a few colors (love that print!).   I have another smaller shipment coming on Monday as well.

I made a new camera strap last night to go over my Nikon strap.  Made of gray corduroy, the Dasha print from Alexander Henry Fashionista, and some linen for a little pocket to hold my lens cover.

I used some gold faux leather to close off the ends.  It's a semi permanent solution since I stitched the ends to the black strap, but if I unpick a couple stitches I can have my normal Nikon strap back if I don't end up liking this one.  

One more week until Sewing Summit!  I am getting ridiculously nervous.
