Sewing: How to Make an SLR Camera Bag

The SLR camera is one of the dominant cameras used by professional photographers because of the range of focal lengths allowed by the camera, allowing the photographer to get the right shot. When a serious photographer ventures outside to find worthwhile subjects to photograph, an SLR camera bag is handy when keeping all the equipment together, such as filters. It also can protect the camera from moisture and damage.

Instructions

Plan the design of the SLR camera bag. Determine what you will store in the bag, which will help you plan for the size of the compartments. Determine how you will carry the bag. A shoulder bag lets you carry a large amount of equipment and quickly lower the bag when you are ready to take your equipment out. Sling bags are smaller and let you quickly remove equipment without taking off the bag, since a strap comes across your chest. Backpacks are evenly distributed across your back and shoulders, though removing the backpack takes longer.

Find a durable material resistant to moisture to make your bag out of. Your camera and equipment are vulnerable to water, so the material should protect the camera from rain.

Draw the dimensions of the SLR camera bag on tracing paper, to aid you in cutting out the fabric needed for the bag.

Place the fabric on the tracing paper and use the tracing paper to cut the outline of the SLR bag. Lift up the fabric while cutting so you do not accidentally cut the tracing paper since you will repeat this step. Cut a second piece of fabric.

Sew the right and left sides of the bag together. Then, rearrange the bag so one seam is in the center and the other seam is resting on the table, out of view. Sew the bottom of the bag together.

Fold the bottom corners together and sew them so there are no openings in the bag.

Cut squares of fabric out for the pockets. Cut a piece of fabric for each SLR piece of equipment that you want to carry. To ensure that the piece will fit, place it in the spot where you want it to sit and place the fabric square over it. Then, sew the fabric square to the bag, leaving the top part open to remove the equipment.

Flip the SLR bag inside out.
