made: handbag/camera bag!

so a few months ago,i've finally purchased my fujifilm instax camera ^^

then i realize that...the device does not come with a case...

and the box is.....disintegrating :s

so there i was, with an ugly box where my awesome camera was encased in it.

have to say i felt quite awful looking at it.

but since i have some time off from school(plenty of time off),

i've decided to knit a bag.

yes.

KNIT.

crochet.

BAG.

.

the original plan was to knit a simple case for my instax...

but being the nut-ish person that i am,

i started asking all the what-ifs...

what if,

i make a pocket for my films...

what-if,

i wanted to go on a picture-taking quest,

i can't bring a knapsack through every corner and every hole..

what-if,

i want to go out,light-weight

(my backpack is kinda...heavy-weight...if you've seen my usual bag that i bring out)

then the camera bag would need pockets for money, cards, phone, sanitary pads(VERY IMPORTANT),

tissue,

BANDANA(eexxtremely important!).

so one idea leads to another and i'll just save my crap to myself and let you see what i ended up doing lah.

here goes:

.

top view~

as you can see,i've allocated some space as my tissue+bandana+spectacles pocket

.

front view is the prettiest ^^

the little pink square is actually a make-shift cover thingy i've made for the close-up lense that came with my instax..

pink and cute,no? :P

pockets for the important things a girl like me needs to bring along whenever i go out...

good thing i'm not in the 'make-up' stage yet,

'cause this bag could only take an extra lip balm,and maybe a compact powder thingamajig.

that's about it.

.

but then!

sometimes i don't want to be girly(usually).

sometimes i don't feel like a mini handbag is enough for me(i need space).

so would my camera be left in my backpack case-less,vulnerable to the sharp things i have in my bag?

.

.

.

.

.

HELL NO!

you see, i've made a detachable bag for the camera ^^

so now my camera is safe no matter what mood i'm in...

oya i've even made a pocket for my films in my camera pouch...

to put my beautifully(fingers crossed) taken instant pictures.

and this is what's left of my handbag,without the camera pouch...

.

.

.

end.

.

.

nice right? v(^o^)v

just in case you're wondering,

it took me about one month to finish it...

buttons cost me RM14.

initially started with 6balls/bundles of yarn that costs RM1.80 each('cause i'm too cheap to buy the better quality yarns),

but i have like...4 balls of partially used yarn left...

and a partially blistered finger

(partially blistered=it's a bit painful 'cause a blister is starting to form,but i tear up the epidermis to prevent it from successfully form a proper blister...kinda stupid,but i will not let anything get in my way of finishing my project!)

.

all in all,

i've only spent RM14 to make this thing,

'cause my dad sponsored the yarn.. ^o^

.

imagine how much i would've need to spend if i was to bluntly walk into a shop to buy a camera bag for the camera!

a bag that looks ugly and unoriginal some more!!

i am proud.
