Winter is still trying to settle in to New England, but I'm enjoying these mild days as much as I can! Hope everyone is staying warm, keeping their feet up and enjoying some sweet tunes on your ukuleles. Happy New Year! Nancy

My quilted ukulele straps are individually sewn by me using designer cotton fabric. My straps have vegan leather tabs with choice of cording or a strap adapter to attach to the headstock. I offer the traditional over-the-shoulder and j-hook style straps for all size ukuleles, banjos, mandolins and dulcimers. For those unfamiliar with "vegan leather", it is a combination of fabric and vinyl, extremely durable, lasting for years!! Does not squeak against your uke as "real" leather tends to and is cruelty free!!
My husband crafts beautiful kazoos from various domestic and exotic woods. There's always a ukulele song that needs that kazoo instrumental!
My straps and kazoos make great gifts for fellow strummers, unique raffle items, or just a fun strap for that newby who needs a bit of incentive to keep practicing! There are lots of fun designs to choose from for any occasion and, of course, one to match your ukulele or personality!
Have a favorite hobby? Want a unique strap made just for you?? I can search out practically any fabric with a theme you love! Leave me a message and I'll create your one-of-a-kind design!
NEED A BUTTON?? Choose silver, black or gold so you can attach your strap and start strumming!
Be sure to FAVORITE my shop so you are notified when new designs are added and also receive coupons! Also, follow me on Facebook and Instagram @QuiltsandUkuleles! to see what my latest projects are!
Stay well, my friends, and happy strumming!!

5 out of 5 starsVery delightful working with Nancy. She was Johnny-on- the-spot in getting my purchased items to me. Due to her excellent video I was able to add the strap pegs to my ukuleles. Nancy also has lovely original designs for straps, bags etc. and I will order from her again soon. Thank you Nancy!

5 out of 5 starsThe ukulele strap adaptor was exactly what I’d hoped it would be. The material used fit under the strings smoothly and the button fastener is really attractive. Delivery was very quick. I couldn’t be happier.

4 out of 5 starsWhen I initially went to purchase my strap, I noticed that some photos in the reviews were different than the photos shown in the main listing. I asked Nancy about this, and she very promptly showed me the fabric that she was using, which was very similar, but not identical. Nancy was incredibly helpful and offered me a refund and coupon code for future use which I accepted. I never found my perfect strap, and luckily waited long enough that Nancy renewed her listing with the original fabric that I was looking for. Yay! I have now received the strap and it is almost perfect. The main things I love are the soft cotton-y feel, vibrant colors, and overall high-quality homemade look. My only gripe is that the maximum usable length for the strap that I have is 49” instead of 51” the latter of which is the total length of the strap.

5 out of 5 starsI LOVE Nancy's work; I have 4 of these straps and a beautiful uke bag to carry with me to jams. As a 7-month old uke player, I was so happy to find these straps! They are so comfortable while being supportive. My beautiful bag is getting compliments everywhere I go! Thank you for your lovely work, Nancy! Sheryl, CA

I love shopping for fabric, so there are many designs to choose from for that perfect Uke Strap! Custom orders, too!
I sew and I strum, best of both worlds!
I’ve sewn my whole life—my own clothes, my children’s clothes and then discovered quilting. When gifted a ukulele by my husband, a whole new world opened up!
I had played guitar and piano, but the ukulele introduced me to a community I never knew existed. Strummers of all levels, coming together, playing songs, laughing, enjoying each other’s company. As IZ sang, ‘what a wonderful world’!
I reached a level where I began to teach ukulele classes and perform at fundraisers, farmers markets, festivals and charities with fellow strummers.
Not thrilled with the uke straps out there, I made my own. Then I started making straps for family and fellow strummers. Here I am, two years later, with almost 4,000 straps sold throughout the world and dozens of shops throughout the country, including Canada, carrying them in their shops.
I’m so humbled that strummers choose my straps for their ukuleles, and ukulele shops support my endeavor as well. I enjoy the process of finding beautiful material, creating something special for strummers, while getting to know them along the way.
My husband, Steve, joined in the fun by creating beautiful wooden kazoos.
Thanks to all who have purchased a strap or a kazoo. We are enjoying creating and making music. Peace to all, Nancy & Steve

Care instructions
My straps are made with vegan leather ends which can be tossed into the washing machine, cool temperature, and dryer. You may want to tie up cording so it doesn’t get tangled or tear the end tab.
Custom and personalized orders
If you have your own material, I can create a custom strap. Send me a message and we can work out the details.
What size ukulele does your strap fit?
My straps fit all ukulele sizes, soprano to baritone, and banjoleles.
What materials are used for your straps?
My straps are made with 100% cotton, with a light padding for soft comfort with quilted detailing to finish. The beauty of the fabric print design is on both sides of strap unlike other straps made with webbing. Vegan leather tabs are sturdy, durable and machine washable.
What is Vegan Leather?
'Vegan' leather and 'faux' leather are the same thing – essentially a fake 'leather' material that does not use animal skin, thus cruelty free. My adult children are vegan so.... :)
What is easier to play, the ukulele or the kazoo?
