Camera Bag

I'm off to Tanzania for a week on Saturday and really dislike the boring camera cases available in camera shops. There are some amazing, quirky designs on the market, particularly Etsy. I designed my own to take with me, made in indigo, Japanese quilting fabrics and natural batting. It was a really simple design using a front and back, sewing the internal corners to create a 3D shape. I covered some plastic sheeting in a fabric sleeve for the base and used French seams inside and binding along the top edge for a neat finish. The strap of the camera forms the strap of the bag.

Knitting Needle Case

Desperately in need of a good knitting needle case, I used Lexie Barnes's book, Sew What Bags!, to inspire my own unique case, which holds all my knitting and crochet implements. Check it out at Amazon:

I'm using this book with the kids at school and they are loving it!
