I love my camera, I take it everywhere! I have a very nice camera bag that works great when I need lens options and a possible flash, but what about all those times when I just need my camera and the lens I keep on it at all times (my Minolta 50mm 1.7) I usually just grab it an gently toss it in the backseat. Not the best idea. Now I have looked at several camera bags, but for 1 they are expensive, 2 not the right size, and 3 not at all cute! The other problem, I also have a vertical grip on my camera, so the smaller bags are too small.
So I made one! I used some great new fabric by Basic Grey, and made a functional, cute bag, just for my camera!
I have pockets on the outside for things like extra battery's, memory cards, etc. But I also made a camera strap cover that also goes with my bag. I added a little pocket to the strap to keep the lens cap, my pocket isn't the best place for that!
Now my camera will be well protected when I just need to grab and go, and there is even some extra room for one more lens, just in case!
Thank you to Priddy Creations for the awesome tutorial on the camera strap. See her directions here.
*****My bags are now available in my shop!******
Thanks so much for all of your sweet comments!

It's so you! I love the fabric, and it looks like it fits your camera perfectly. You'll have to make one for every season!
Glad you're enjoying today-Krista
What a great bag - it's really cute!
I'm stopping over from Trendy Treehouse and am now a follower. I'm glad to have found your blog!
Nice job. Did you use a pattern? Or just make it up? I really need to make one. I'm using a bag my son got with his Field & Stream mag. subscription. Camo green - I know, classy!
It is fabulous and perfect!! Love the fabric too!! And what a great idea for the camera strap. A place for the lens cover. Super!!

That is really lovely... the color is so yummy.
have a great weekend.
Recent follower. Love your new bag. I need to make a bag for mine, too. The pocket for the lens cap is genius!
You're outa control. In the best possible way of course. :) That bag is ADORABLE! I just love the strap/buckle that closes it! So gosh darn adorable! You make me wanna be a girlie girl. :)

Wow. I love it and want it. You should think about selling those.
I like the pocket on the strap for the lens cap! How awesome!
I've been wanting to make a camera bag, too. This gives me some more ideas; thanks!
Hi! Are you going to sell those bags? I'd love to order a custom one from you. I've been searching everywhere for one I like, haven't found it yet! Gorgeous!
Wow...I love love love this bag. I need one like it for my camera. I, too, wish you would make and sell them. Or have a nice giveaway. ;)
Wow, it looks awesome! I'm thinking of making my own too and found so much inspiration and ideas in your pictures. Great work!
Thank you all so much! I have decided that YES! I will make and sell them! I went crazy at the fabric store today buying some of the cutest fabrics. I also went to a huge indoor garage sale today and bought a ton of belts and bags, I plan to re use the buckles, so each bag will be very unique! If you would like a custom order please email me and let me know what you are looking for. I will have some posted in my shop very soon! Thanks again!
Wow this is awesome. Great job!
I'm featuring a necklace tutorial and giveaway. I'd love it if you stopped by my blog!

This is so cute! I actually bought a cosmetic bag for mine - especially since I cannot sew.
This is great. I need to make one myself, my camera bag has a broken handle and I've been trying to decide what to do. This inspires me to make my own.
Thanks!

ooo, I love this, I want a cute camera bag...all I have is the ugly black Nikon one
Beautiful camera bag! Great job!! :)
I LOVE that! I may be a bit biased as a photographer myself, but I would like to feature you next week on Favorite Things Friday. If you would like a featured button, go ahead and get one off my blog! Thanks so much for posting this!
What a fantastic sewing job you did. I'm not sure if you used a pattern, but I am always afraid to do things without one! Great job!
WOW! That is adorable. I have been looking for a camera bag like that for about a year now. I think that I will try and make one. You have inspired me!
Love it soooo much.
I might have to have you make me one! The strap cover, for sure :)
That is the perfect bag, so cute too! Now if I only had an awesome camera for it. Thanks for linking up!
Wow, it looks so profesional! I love it!
I LOVE this bag! I bought one last year and it's ok, but there are several things I'd change about it.
If you ever sell these or have a pattern, I'd love to know.
The bag and camera strap came out GREAT!! You should do a tutorial on the bag...:)
This is a fantastic bag! Saw the link on Transformation Thursday.
I love this! The colors and fabric are just perfect!
That is GORGEOUS!
I LOVE this! How brilliant of you to think of it...soooo much cuter than your typical camera bag! :-)

Adorable bag!
Hope you'll drop by AtticMag to give JaneT some advice on making a bench from a vintage bed. #81 on Met Monday.

I've been thinking about making a camera strap for my new camera, but I'd love to make a bag that goes with it. I'm going to have to check out some patterns. Thanks for sharing!
Love this! I would love for you to come link up over at my blog! I've got prizes :)

Love it - I need one for my camera, will you be considering making them for your shop?
this is gorgeous...i am not sure that i could get my husband to carry that case! LOL
Thanks for sharing, I think I have been inspired to make my own camera bag, since I can't find a ready-made one I like.
