It's my friend's 40th birthday this week and myself and a few of her friends have put towards a collection for a new camera.  The decision to which camera was left to me! 

No pressure then!

We decided on the FujiFilm FinePix JX560 in red. We bought an SD card too and then we were left with about £7 to get a camera case. So, I thought to myself, 'I can make a camera case.' Eeek! No pressure then! ;)

I flicked through a couple of issues of Mollie Makes to try to find a template, but couldn't find what I was looking for.  I then set to Etsy, where I came across this gorgeous template.

The seller emailed the template and the instructions to me within the hour with a lovely email telling me to contact her if I had any problems when I was making it.

The next day, I chose the fabrics, which I am never confident at doing, and cut out the templates.

I thought it was going to be a big old task putting these together, so thought I'd make a start that night.  The instructions which were sent to me were so easy to follow, that I managed to put most of it together within an hour.

The next morning, I finished off the trim using bias binding.  This took another half an hour of so.

Et voila!

I'm pretty chuffed myself! I hope my friend likes it. ;)
