New project: Camera bag

I've been carrying my camera about in a really boring protective case which takes up half the space in my bag.

Seemed like a good time to start work on a camera bag. It's going to be shaped like a messenger bag, with added padding. Hopefully I'll be able to carry my digital camera and one or two of my film cameras and still have space for other essentials like my phone and wallet.

I'm using a thick grey fabric on the outside which doesn't draw too much attention - then on the inside I'm going to use a pretty printed cotton.

It's only pinned together at the moment. I've still got to decide what kind of fastening it should have before I really get on with it.

Keyboard/musical notes bag

A few weeks ago I bought a skirt with a keyboard trim and I fancied making a bag to match.
So here it is.
It's a little clutch bag with a zip along the top. There's a wrist strap on the other end so you can still hold a drink if you go to a gig or something.

The back is black with a musical note print (from my quilting shop adventure) and the black keys are velvet ribbon. Its also lined in black. I'm quite pleased with it.
