Hi there! It's Karen from Didyoumakethat? I'm so glad to have this space, safe from prying family eyes, in order to share my latest Christmas make.
Handmade Jane recently posted a tutorial on this blog for making a wash bag. (Thanks, Jane!) I adapted this project to make a camera lens bag for my photography-mad sister.
I used some Echino by Etsuko Furuya fabric bought from Ray Stitch and lined the make with a silk/cotton mix in a complementary colour scheme. The purple velvet ribbon is from Ray Stitch, as is the wonderful label.
I love this make and can barely stand to give it away. But give it away I must. Apparently, Christmas is all about the giving...
Karen it's FAB!! Glad the tutorial was useful and what a brilliant idea adapting it as a camera bag, genius. x
ReplyDeleteHow spooky, i just made the exact same thing in the exact same fabric for my photography minded brother. Mine is still a washbag though!
ReplyDeleteThe lens bag is fabulous - I've coveted that fabric for a while (although I haven't seen it in that luscious purple - yummy) and keep meaning to get some to make camera bags for my sister and her daughter - your sister is very lucky!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric... great idea.
