You are going to see a bit of a theme in the next several projects that come out of my sewing room - neutral colors, canvas, denim, vintage lace, navy blue, ticking, khaki, burlap. Not that I'm having much time to sew and entire shirt or quilt, but Im finding bits of time here and there to do little 15 minute projects.
This great OD green bag was originally a vintage WWII equiptment bag, originally purchased for $8 for the boys who are very into anything "army". They didn't seem to like it as it was a bit big for what they were looking for.
Oh, well!
I found a perfect use for it.
With the two pockets on either side of the inside, it makes a great camera bag. Perfect for holding the camera plus two extra lenses. I cut a piece of prequilted batting for the bottom of the bag. But the heavy canvas is perfect for protecting everything inside from water and sand. And of course it didn't come with that pretty vintage lace across the front. I don't think the US Army allows that.
I'm in love with my new bag and am finding excuses to get out and go for a walk, just so I can take my new bag out for a spin.
