New Camera Bag

I decided I needed a new camera bag....everything keeps falling out of my old Canon one lol! 
So I grabbed some fabric, had a look round the internet for some inspiration and ideas...and set off (I do like to make things up as I go along - I'm a 'bodger')

So here it is - I kinda wish I'd used different fabric - this was supposed to be a mock up of the real thing but I went a little overboard and it's now a full-blown bag, with padded foam lining, padded inserts, flower details, the lot! So I guess it will have to do until I can make myself another one in fabric I do like!

The bag...
The pockets...

The inside, with padded inserts (ok, so I cheated and stole the ones from my Canon bag, too....)

and here it is with my camera, lenses, and my full handbag in as well to show size - I wanted a bag I could take everything out in, instead of carting around two bags as I usually do!

I might add some more pockets to the inside if I do make another one - somewhere to put my filter cases would be handy!

Thanks for looking - I'm hoping once I get this perfected I can get a pattern made for you, but I'm still working on sorting the Romance bag pattern lol!

  1. Ooh lovely bag. (not too keen on the fabric but then I'm not really a pink kinda girl hehe)
    But it looks very nice. And also reminded me that I must must MUST get my camera bag made since I did bug the other half to let me get fabric from IKEA to make it with.
    Looking forward to the Romance bag pattern getting finished x

  2. Thanks Emma, I'm not too keen on it either - I just used it up in case it all went wrong and I needed to throw it away lol! Hope you get yours made soon! xx

Getting an early start...

Well for some reason, (and trust me, this NEVER happens!), I'm making an early start on things for that most dreaded of C-words... CHRI...
