Camera sleeve


Recognize these fabric scraps?
Yep, they are leftover from Oakleigh's advent calendar.
Since I had no pattern for the calendar I experimented with the size of the pockets. I originally cut long strips of fabric and added bias tape to the top of each row. After deciding how large I wanted each pocket, I then cut off the excess, leaving strips about 4 inches wide.


Several months later, while on vacation, I misplaced my camera case.
I keep this little camera in my purse and needed something to protect it from scratches.
I remembered those little leftover scraps and made myself a new camera case.


The fabric is pre-quilted so it worked perfectly.
