Camera project

So lately I have been craving a project for me...and it would have been done like forever ago if i didn't have to waste some of my nap times by showing this house! please someone just buy it!  we just want to move on and start something new!

Well...so I told you that I got a new camera from my awesome parents for Christmas/Birthday. As mine is only 9 days after the big holiday. Well I definitely didn't want an ugly camera bag...No. Something cute but not spend an arm and a leg. So I thought...I'll just see if I can sew one and stubbled upon this awesome tutorial.

And well I got started...
I got a great bag from oldnavy on clearance - plus my mom bought it so it was essentially free but i think it cost her about $8 or so. So the breakdown...


Bag - $8
Foam - 1 yd as I cut wrong the first time for my bottom piece = $3.50 with coupon
Velcro - had some
Fabric - left over from Ells elephant pillow
Thread - always on hand


So pretty darn cheap and super cute, minus the hand sewing that I had to do. I absolutely hate it! But I needed the practice! Some of the pictures...took with ipad so I could show you with the camera inside. 

Inside the bag...finished product

Outside...prior to being stuffed inside the bag

You may be able to see the super cute camera strap I made a few weeks ago too...Just love being able to personalize and make this camera all it can be...Now if only I had time to work on taking better photos. In due time, I guess. I followed this tutorial to make the ruffled cover for my camera strap.
