I Wish For This


I've been looking at camera purses that have padding for DSLR cameras. I hate how I have to carry my purse as well as the ugly black camera bag I use now. And because I don't always carry my camera with me, there have been times when I forgot it when I really needed it!







I've also considered changing this vintage luggage bag I bought into a camera bag.



Does anyone have any ideas of how I can put padding in this bag to protect my camera? Thanks!


Now I'm off to class for 4 hours. I hope I can stay awake! Those of you who read my weekly schedule know how busy I am. It's started to catch up with me because today I'm so tired! Only one more day till the weekend yay!

  1. Hey Breanna! I'm right there with you! I TOTALLY need a new bag too. My camera came with a bag and it is way too small.. I wish it was prettier too, but I can't get over the size. It's quite pitiful! I like your picks! You could probably get the padding from your old camera bag out and somehow secure it into your vintage bag... I think I may just make my own too... DIY time!!!! Just need to buy some padding...

  4. Ohhh...hang in there Breeanna...I know how getting tired and making it through schoolin' feels like :). Okay...you can always make friends with a blogger (that'd be me), then you email me the dimensions of a bag you've picked out. Then you email those dimensions to me, and I use quilting padding, flannel, and fleece fabric that I have lying around, and make you some padding that you can fit into your purse. Just a thought...lemme know...I'd be glad to do it! Hearts, Janna lynn

  5. I was just going to buy a vintage carry on bag and use it for my camera bag, but I could never find one that I liked (the one you have is amazing) I was just going to use the padding from my old camera bag I bought when I bought the camera! I guess you could get pieces of foam and make a slip cover for them?

  6. I reckon just use quilting batting, cover it with a pretty fabric and glue it in so it stays =)

  8. Wow! This is a coincidence - I am going to rig up a bag very similar to the luggage in your bottom image over the next couple of weeks!

    I found a few tutorials around the blogosphere, in case you're still looking:
