Camera Case part 5
I have finally finished up with the canvas and have began to cut out the fleece liner for the camera.
This is what I've got done so far, basically I'm now just sewing the canvas to the pouch made of fleece. when that is done I'm going to lash all the parts together and make a little latch for the flap to go under. I'm also thinking of adding a strap to it to make it a free standing purse type bag.

This plastic canvas is driving me crazy
I know I haven't updated in a few days....
It is because I'm starting to hate this project it is so boring to do normal stitches on plastic canvas. I'm runing out of dark pink yarn because I'm only doing my projects using remments. This is the up date photo I'm nearly done with the boring part hope to get it done tonight. Then I can move on to working on the fleece (finally)

Camera Case part 3
So I have completed the back and top clasp part of the case and it looks really nice. I'm actually really happy with the look of this, I has this woven pink plaid look.
How I achieve this look was by first making to diagonal long stitches that look like stripes then filling in with a lighter color. Then repeat the same going diagonal the other direction.
Pro tip: if your yarn is thin or it looks kinda thready like this ^ then weave in more and double up the yarn in each row if you look at the picture below you can see that I doubled up some of my lines because it was looking thin in the middle. also if you make a mistake just keep on weaving on because in the long scale of the project a small flaw wont be noticed by any one but you.
There you have it for today now I'm going to start working on the front and sides tomorrow.

Camera Case part 2
I decided I wanted to make this cool looking cross stitch pattern across the front this is the first time I have attempted this type of stitching and the results look fantastic. I'm thinking of doing this for the rest of my project but this time I'm going to in corporate other colors of yarn so I will show off the pattern even more.
make sure you weave the needle, if you make a mistake just pull it out and try again. Also if you make a mistake on the back it wont matter that much because of the liner that will be added later. here is this section completed.

This is what the back looks like
I tried to tack it down with a few long stitches but it looks like crap, I know it could look better but its good enough for me. Its going to be covered with a fleece backing so it wont even matter.

Camera Case
This is my first post in this blog so I decided to start it out with my newest project, I'm making a case for my new camera. I want to pad the case a bit so I'm going to make it out of plastic canvas with a liner of fleece. The first thing I did was measure the camera on the canvas making sure to leave some leeway for the fleece liner and the yarn that will sewn in to the canvas. It is a basic pattern of a box with a flap reaching from the back that will come over the top and be held down with a few strips of canvas over the top. I'll be posting more pictures of project every day so you can see how it comes together, this a photo of the canvas I cut for use.
