Camera Cover Tutorial

My Dear MIL lost her camera cover on her vacation trip to Hawaii a few weeks a go, so when she came back she was kind of bummed about it and ask me if I could make something for her. She loved this red pattern of fabric, and I got to work! It’s a very simple project that only took me about 30 minutes I used outdoor canvas for the outside and oatmeal linen for the inside.

MATERIALS

• 2 pieces of 6.25×4.25 inches (5.8×10.8 cm) one of each fabric for the body
• 2 pieces a little bigger than the body of lightweight interfacing  (I use pellon 808)
• 2 pieces of 1.5×3.5 inches (3.8×8.8 cm) also one of each fabric for the strap
• Small piece of Batting( you can also substitute this with  felt)
• Small piece of Velcro

PROCESS

	1- First you will have to press the interfacing to back of the main fabric, in my case the red.
	2- Sew the piece of Velcro an inch away from the edge of the body fabric, and the opposite piece to the center of your liner fabric for the stripe
	3- Once you have the Velcro ready, face the fabrics and  sew around it leaving one end open, so you can turn inside out.
	4- Turn the piece inside out and it should look like this.
	5- Sew around the edge and this piece is ready!
	6- Fold both body pieces in half and sew the edge, leaving the Velcro close to the top on the main fabric.
	7- Open seems and pull the fabric at one of the corners so that the side seam and the bottom seam are on top of each other. draw a line of about 3/4 of an inch.
	8- Sew on top of the line and cut the extra.
	9- Repeat steps 7 and 8 with the liner fabric.
	10 –  Fold the main fabric inside out and leave the liner like it is, now you need to cut a tube of batting or felt to put in between the fabrics, mine was about 3.25×6.25 inches (8.3×5.8 cm) and I sew on one end.
	11- Place the batting inside the main fabric, push it down and then place the liner inside the batting, it can be kind of tricky but I used the same camera to fit everything inside and push equally – Fold the top both fabrics to the inside and pin. Add the stripe in between the fabrics and make sure both pieces of Velcro fit.
	12- Sew around the edge and you are done, it should look something like this!

I am very happy with the result and MIL loved it!
