Creating a new blog is so much fun. It's like having new home online. I have too much stuff that I wanna write about, but today I would like to talk about just two things: These birdies and a tutorial on how to make the camera case. I just found these wire-birdies in this shop. Super Cute! Aren't they? They are only 367 yen: less than US$4 each. Unfortunately, they are sold out... One thing I like about Japan is that I can find a lot of things that are so cute that it's hard to resist. Finding pretty stuff does make my life brighter. ----------------------------- Ok, let me show you the tutorial. This is absolutely my first time to create a sewing tutorial in English. I might be missing a lot of details... If there is anything not clear, please let me know! The only materials needed are fabric(outer and inner), bias binding(you could make your own or buy one), matching thread, and a button. 1) The first thing is to determine the size of your digital camera to see how big your final camera case needs to be. My camera is about 3 3/4"(width), 2"(height), and 1"(depth), so I cut out one piece of 8 x 5 1/2"fabric from each fabric: one for outer and one for inner. If your camera's size is about mine, you could cut out the same size's fabrics as mine, but if your camera is a lot bigger you might want to make the scale bigger, accommodating with your camera's size. I cut out the batting for the same size+ some extra width and height. Then, I sandwiched the batting between my fabrics so the right sides of the fabrics are outermost. After pinning the layers together, I machine-stitched like this (the width between the pararell stitch lines are about 3/8") and cut off the excess batting. 2) Then, I made 4 bias strips. (If you are using a store-bought one, please omit this step) Two tapes : 6" length Two tapes : 9" length Using a bias tape maker makes it a lot easier and quicker! They should look like this after pressing. 3) Then I attached the 6" bindings onto the width part of the sandwich. First, open out one turning on the binding and pin it along the edge of the fabric, right side together, then machine stitch along the fold line. 4) Then I folded the binding over the fabric edge to the wrong side, so the edge of the binding is just above the machine stitching. I slipstitched the folded edge of the binding to the fabric, catching up the fabric in the allowance, just above the machine stitching. 5) Repeat this for the other side too and cut off the excess bindings. 6) The next thing is to do is to make a pocket. I folded the sandwich to make the pocket whose height is 2 1/4" and based it. Then, I attached 9" bindings onto the sandwich. This time, I turned the both ends like this then machine stitched. so that the corner looks nice like this. Your camera case should look like this now. 7) The only things left to do is to sew a button hole and attach a button! See less »
