I make bags. Started with leather mainly (but my arthritis has slowed that down), so now mainly work with man made materials and a sewing machine.
Current project is a small holiday bag with dedicated easy access camera pocket on the front.
Just finished the latest one.
It’s intended as a days out / travel bag, with dedicated camera pocket.
It can be used flap fully shut down to be a bit more secure, flap velcro’ed up just above the camera pocket if I want to get to the camera a lot or even flap flipped over the back to get to all sections easily.
It has an external zipped pocket on the back, camera pocket at the front. A fully opening zipped pocket with another zipped compartments and various pockets ( I will probably reinforce the front flap with some cardboard to and some rigidity and a main pocket for slightly larger items.
The camera pocket is Velcro lined, my first attempt at a drop in padded section is not great, it will protect the camera, but I will probably have another go at that sometime.
The strap is removable and I might have a go at some kind of leather wet moulded camera holster to add to the strap. There is also a small amount of webbing on one side and I will probably make water bottle pouch to go on it.
My external binding is still a little bit messy, but as it is only for me I am not to worried. Ignore any white lines, that is just tailors chalk and I just need to tidy up any loose cottons.
With the flap closed it should be reasonably water proof as well.
