The Camera Pouch.
Here's what I've been sewing:
Two photos of the camera pouch:
In the first photo you see that it has a pocket on the side for the accommodation of memory sticks. On the other side is an identical pocket for the spare charged battery. In the second photo you see that I have lined it with microfiber, to protect the viewing screen, The pockets are made of the microfiber fabric. The exterior fabric is a nylon waterproof fabric. There is quiliting batting between the exterior fabric and the interior lining.
The purpose of this is so that I can carry the digital camera in my purse (over the should bandalero style) without it being crushed and mutilated by the other occupants of my purse (I carry a lot of stuff, okay? When you travel by bus, your purse is your trunk.). I'm very happy with how this turned out but I still hate sewing. If I could have bought what I wanted, I would have. This thing cost me an hour of shopping, $50 in fabric zippers thread and batting, and six hours of sewing time. It would have been *cheaper* to buy it.
There was much ranting and raving. There was no flinging things down in disgust but only because they wouldn't have smashed worth a darn.
