The Camera Pouch.

[agoodwinsmith]

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.

It looks great! My camera presently rides around in an old leather case from an older camera. This works fine for now, since I don't have any extra memory cards or batteries right now. But if/when I get some I might just steal your idea :o)

That looks splendid!

Sewing

I like to sew, but you're right, this was much too costly in materials and time.

I need to sew bags for wheelchair legs (metal, not human) and the wheelchair seat (which has big sharp hooks on two of the four sides) and I am dREADING it. Gotta get my dearest savant_da_rat to haul the sewing machine out, and I dread that, too.

It looks really neat, and I am impressed with the clever idea of lining it with microfibre cloth (although the second picture looks a bit vilgar, and had given that impression much stronger had the microfibre been dark pink).
