Summer Series - Project #4

Last one!  It might not look the prettiest (I'm sure you could do a nicer job), but this is quite a functional item.  A camera case that your camera can wear while you take photos.  I love taking photos at the beach, but inevitably my camera comes into contact with sand and/or water - grrrr!  While this camera case won't solve the problem entirely, it will definitely help a little.

The Beachy Keen Camera Cover-up

Ta da!  You can leave it on while you take photos!

You can even look at your photos, and adjust your settings - while your camera stays nice and dry...


This was a pretty easy project, though a little bit fiddly due to its size (my impatience didn't help much either).  Still a beginners project, and I think it took me about 2 hours altogether...

You will need:

Cut your main pieces as follows (I cut each piece much bigger than I needed too, so that I could make any necessary adjustments throughout):

Now:

This was an afterthought, and very necessary I think...

I was too busy sewing to take photos of the next stages - sew your base piece to your camera bag.  I spent a little bit of time adjusting it at this point, as it was a little more roomy than I wanted.  Alternatively, you could also give your camera bag some extra padding for further protection.
