I had planned to make a camera strap for the new camera, after much deliberation, chose a quick and easy method - to make a cover that I could slide off and launder - should the need arise.
I used one of my favourite liberty of London Tana lawn -- Betsy in the green colourway.
Due to the fragility of the fabric, it needed to be reinforced to withstand manual handling from all the family, - I lined it with a Pellon, then straight stitched the length of the strap, I folded the ends under, presto - all complete,

I slid the strap directly over the existing camera strap, it is so much easier to identify my camera now.

I decided to make another strap to gift to a friend. Spots are always a sure fire winner for most recipients!

That turning tool looks brilliant I struggled to use a chopstick yesterday as a turning tool.
