A super personalized SLR camera bag hand-making tutorial. The production method is more complicated than ordinary bags, so children’s shoes that plan to make by hand must be mentally prepared! If you are not intimidated, please continue and follow the detailed illustrated tutorial below to DIY a unique SLR camera bag!
The finished camera bag, is it beautiful? !
The fabrics chosen here are more suitable for girls.
Production ideas:
To make a SLR camera bag, you need to DIY each part of the bag: lens, body, and back cover. Therefore, we can complete it step by step in this order during the manual production process.
Material selection:
Table cloth: It is best to choose a wear-resistant cloth, such as thicker linen, canvas, waterproof cloth, plastic cloth, etc.
Lining: In order to protect your baby machine, gentle cotton is definitely the best. It is best to match the color with the surface fabric, because part of the lining is visible from the outside.
Cotton: Coating is a layer of cotton sandwiched between the outer fabric and the lining. With it, the bag can be stiff and soft, and it can also protect the camera. If it is childrens shoes with higher requirements, you can put two layers of cotton on them, so you don't have to worry about your babys camera falling to the ground..
Vaco fastening: Any bag needs to be fastened. For camera bags, since there are precision machines inside, magic gluing is the best. Buttons work too, but they fall off easily. Other options include four-button buckles and magnetic buckles, but they are easy to damage the machine. So a small piece of magic sticky is enough.
Other tools: compasses, small transparent clips (not all fixings can be done with beads), and eraser pens. There may be more places to mark than you think. Other necessary tools such as scissors and rulers are not listed for now.
Production steps:
Step one: Determine the size of the bag. The easiest way is of course to wrap it directly with cloth. When using cloth to encircle the size, you must be careful because you have to consider the thickness of the cotton, so always leave a little more space!
Step 2: Determine the lens size. This step is more troublesome. In order to save trouble at first, I used the lens cover to draw a circle on the cloth and got a round shape. However, I later discovered that the cup was missing because once the circle was ironed and covered with cotton, the camera lens would not fit in!
How to solve this problem?
The answer is to use the perimeter to calculate the radius! You have to wrap the cloth around the lens first, relax a little, and get the perimeter. Then calculate the radius according to the elementary school formula C=2πR, and then use a compass to draw the circle.
Why bother?
Because if the size of the circle is not accurate, you will have to rework it later! Because the lens part is sewn in three places, if the size of any place is inaccurate, you will have to re-cut the fabric and spread the cotton.
Step 3: Determine the size of the front face of the camera. At this step, you need to figure out the approximate size of the front face of the camera body. Its very simple. Draw a rectangle roughly along the edge of the camera.
Step 4: Determine the position of the lens on the fuselage.
In this step, you need to use the rectangular cloth you just cut to compare it with the lens to determine the position of the lens and mark it. Some camera lenses are not in the middle of the camera body, but to the left or right.
At this time, each piece of surface fabric is basically ready. After ironing and quilting, it is time to enter the sewing stage. Remember that the seam allowance must be left on the fabric. It can be seen that each piece of cloth is basically rectangular and circular when broken down, and the gaps are still easy to leave. Use a water-disposable pen to draw the seam lines so that you can sew twice the result with half the effort.
Sewing step one: stitch the lens. Use clips to assist when sewing the lens. This three-dimensional bag type is actually not difficult to sew at all. As long as you draw the seam allowances and sew the two lines together, it is generally inseparable.
Sewing step two: lens + front part of the fuselage, still the same, draw the seam allowance and sew two seam allowance lines.
When sewing the lens, you can first make one round of basting stitches to roughly fix it, and then narrow down the stitches and sew one more round. Otherwise unnecessary wrinkles may appear.
You see, the clip is really important, the way it looks sewn.
Sewing step three: lens + body.
Looking at the back, you can already see the effect of a camera bag.
Regarding the issue of the camera body, the camera body can be surrounded by three sides or four sides. You can also cut the four sides into four pieces and sew them together. It depends on whether you want the camera bag to appear horizontally and vertically or rounded. a feeling of. I chose to surround the three sides and flip the bottom up to cover the body.
Sewing step four: Make the back cover. You can add your own design to the back cover, add lace, etc.
The last step is to sew the lining, turn the whole thing over, and sew the lining on with a hidden needle.
Turn over and its basically done.
The last step is to install the buttons.
A stylish SLR camera bag has been made. It’s actually not as difficult as the editor said at the beginning, right? Just make 3 simple parts and put them together. I wish you success~~~
