Così per proteggere il nuovo arrivo, ho deciso di cucire una custodia ‘da borsetta’, nonostante le mie doti di sartoria siano praticamente nulle...
Last Tuesday it was my 37th birthday (argh!), and my husband really surprised me with a wonderful present: a new compact camera. My previous camera (a Canon G5) is not ready for the bin yet; actually, it still does a great job and I’m proud of it. But I’ve to admit that there have been occasions when its weight was an issue, and the macro does not suit all my needs... Clearly my continuous grumbles stroke a nerve : )
Thus, despite my poor sartorial dote, I decided to sew a camera holder to protect my new jewel.
Thus, despite my poor sartorial dote, I decided to sew a camera holder to protect my new jewel.

First, I cut a strip of cellophane foil and I folded it in three parts to make the holder padding.

Then, I cut two strips of fabric just slightly bigger than the cellophane strip: one for the external part and one for the lining.

Then, I made a ‘sandwich’ with cellophane inside and I blocked the three layers with pins.


The next step involved the sewing of the edges, but one short. This I used to turn the work on the right side.

Tocco finale l’applicazione di un laccetto e un bottone per tenerla chiusa. Così non corro alcun rischio di graffiare monitor o obiettivi con tutte le cianfrusaglie sparse nella borsa...
After turning the work, I sewed the last open side and folded the bottom of the strip to create the camera holder.
The final touch was represented by a ribbon and a button that composed the closure mechanism. In this way, there is not chance that the gimcracks that fill in my purse can scratch my new camera’s precious parts...
