Quilted Camera Bag

 

Here is a project I made a while ago. I got the idea for this camera- protecting pouch from this blog: http://ayumills.blogspot.com/2008/04/how-to-make-super-simple-camera-case.html
Since I let my camera pretty much just float around in my purse, I thought this might help protect it a bit. With a few modifications- i.e. velcro instead of a button- I was pleased with the result, although it was my first real experience with bias tape, so parts look a little clumsy. However, I decided I love bias tape! I know some people have a hard time with bias tape, but let me share a little secret with you- a YouTube video I found a couple months ago called the "No swearing bias tape method"- check it out here.

Handtowel Bibs

 

 

 

I have always wanted to make one of these- it's a very, quick, satisfying project that is useful! You can probably figure out how it's made by looking at the pictures. I used a $1 handtowel from Target, a fabric remnant, and some bias tape.
I would like to try this again. What I would do differently? 1. Use a more sturdy handtowel. 2. Make the neck hole much, much smaller, so as to not end up with a bib that is too big for Mommy! 3. Make the ties a little longer for ease in tying.
