Camera Purse

I got this little beauty for Christmas



I started looking for something stylin' to carry it and keep it protected.
All the cute camera purses are dang expensive. I got on Pinterest and started finding lots of tutorials on DIY camera purses. 
I knew that was the route I needed to take


 I went to target and found this purse that I'm in love with!
It was more than I wanted it to be.... $ 30.
But...it had all the features I wanted
1. Long strap
2. Lots of room in side
3. Pockets
4. Just plain cute

Supplies:

Foam
fabric
( I used flannel so it would be extra soft)
thread- of course

I measured the inside of the bag, then cut the foam pieces to size. 
Then, cut the fabric to the right measurements and sewed them up. 
I felt like I was making little pillow cases :)

All of the tutorials I read used velcro to secure everything.
I didn't do this because I wanted to use it as more than a camera purse.
To compensate, I made sure that my foam pieces were a little bit bigger so that they fit together securely. 
It seems to be working well, not much movement at all.

Here's the inside....




The best part are all of the pockets.
Everything has a home and is easy to reach when I'm on the go.
