As part of the Year in Pictures group I spent last week photographing the process of sewing camera straps for the shop. Just one photo to sum up each day. I wanted to focus on some of the details that I get to enjoy every day while sitting at my sewing machine that others don't always get to see. Stacks of fabric, colourful pins and the magic when you turn something right side out and see that it's all coming together. It's so easy to get caught up in the chain piecing, endless ironing and piles of interfacing that I think it's important to stand back and catch of glimpse of some of the snapshots of beauty that happen while making.
Once I get back from Austin next week I'm going to continue the photos for the rest of February because I've enjoyed the results so much. (Next shop update will be Wednesday, February 25th at 7PM Eastern.)
Edited to add the Calendar reminder for the shop update: 
beautiful photos! i love that we can see your whole process.

Sewing sounds so much more complicated than knitting. I admire you for being able to keep up with it! It looks really cool and colorful, too. Great photos, really. :)

Thank you!! I wish I did more sewing so I could justify having stacks of fabric and piles of pins. And thanks for the heads-up on the shop update. I was just over there this morning because I *NEED* a pick-me-up camera strap. I will be knocking on the door on the 25th!

Will there be any robot pouches by chance? I'm excited to see what's in store with the "new release!"

You have made them. Is there any similar things available in the shops? I can't make but need some.
