anniek Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 No, I bowed to peer pressure and am making a camera bag You know, just to see if I can... I drafted the pattern yesterday I've thought about it many times, but by the time you buy good quality canvas etc, plus the lining (you can buy the yoga mat stuff by the metre at Bunnings) I figured it was going to cost me around the $100 mark anyway. And to use canvas/leather, you really need an industrial machine which I don't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 I was thinking the same, Annie. But I have some pretty great upholstery fabric here, plus all the dog collar hardware, so I am going to give it a go. Then I'll be my own guinea pig.

kja Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Can't wait to see it!! I checked that site yesterday and the bag I fell in love with isn't there anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 I think she makes to order. So when someone orders a certain bag, it disappears off the site and then she re-lists if she has enough of the fabric left. That's my constant battle with selling online too, keeping limited amounts of fabric makes it really difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought of buying a nice bag and making and putting in the liners myself, but the "nice bags" were around the $100 mark - yes I know I'm justifying to myself why I have just bought a bloody bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
