Camera Bag

I love my camera. I really do. It's an Olympus Pen. The problem is, I have never been able to find a case to keep it safe on my adventures.

So here's what I did.

I tore apart an old camera bag and used the padding to make a section inside.

The trim is some kind of faux leather that I hand-stitched all the way around. The trim is the reason this project sat in the dreaded basket of unfinished things.






The straps (although I would have preferred a more sturdy material) are convertible and adjustable. If I pull them from the side, I can wear it as a backpack, but if I pull the strap from the top, I can use it as a messenger bag.




I used it on a recent trip to Arizona and it was great. As a backpack it was perfect for some hiking, and as a messenger it was great to take out around town.
