from scratch friday

I draw a lot of inspiration from my internet friends and their crafty endeavors.  One of my favorite blogs for ideas and tutorials is In Color Order. I've used Jeni's Lined Drawstring Bag tutorial at least a dozen times, it is the perfect quick project and is SO USEFUL.

super cute cousin gift

I've made drawstring bags as gifts for friends, for knitting projects, and to hold my cameras on my recent trip to Greece.

finished: camera strap and drawstring bag

It is the perfect size to hold my camera, remote, and extra lens - and keeps everything snug and secure in my purse. 

This week has been a little crazy, and the weekend will be crazier still - tomorrow we have the Broad Ripple Farmers' Market, the Indy Vintage Arts Marketplace, and I'm taking madre to Party in the Park w/Head & the Heart.  At some point though, I have to find the time to make a new batch of laundry detergent b/c we've run out - I'll be sharing that "recipe" next week.

Happy Friday!

Love these bags! Your fabric choices are excellent :) I want to make one to protect my dslr and extra lens for a cruise we're going on, but I was wondering if you only lined it, or did you use some batting for extra protection? Thanks!!!
