I've been looking for a camera strap on Etsy for some time now and was going cross-eyed looking at so many cool fabrics and options. After weeks of going back and forth, I decided that a lens cap pocket on the strap was of upmost importance (as I seem to leave them around in all sorts of places ...) - so that elminated a whole bunch of options.
Originally I had wanted something fun and funky - orange and turquoise - maybe apple green and indigo. But then I found this:
It's a business card holder - as I can never fit them in my wallet without them getting all yucky. And I've found myself needing cards day in and day out - plus with my SIL's new Party On Store (yup - that's a LINK to her new website - the store I talked about here) - she's needing to have some there for those who are inquiring about photographers.
So when I decided on that - it seemed only fitting that I would choose this as my camera strap:
Here's the thing - it's black and white - which really is the true me. Most of my wardobe is B&W - they were my wedding colours for Pete's sake *grin*. And the red chenille lining? Well, how could I not with the whole "Redhanded Photography" thing? ... oh, how I wish I were more spontaneous *GRIN* ... but orderly and thought-out am I.
If you're interested to get your own - check out http://www.phatstraps.com/ (I didn't use them, only because they didn't have a lens cap pocket in their products ...). Or check out Etsy here. I did the searching for you *smile*.
Have a good one!

I'm loving mine from August Blossoms...and for sure use the lens pocket a ton!!! Love your fabric choice!
Oh... and I also got the snap closures so I could quickly 'go strapless' if need be.
