Camera Case

This pattern I made to hold my camera. This camera case is easily adapted to fit other sizes of cameras. The pattern is for the case with out the skull on it. To get the chart for the skull, please go to the site Hello Yarn. You can find a good skull chart on the Pirate Mittens pattern. All you have to do is center it on the back side of the camera case. It is entirely optional.

To put it together

You should have a strange and long peice of material. Using a yarn needle and some matching thread, sew up the sides so that you still have a short flap left over. Sew velcro to the front of the flap and to the back of the case so that it can stay closed. Using any size crochet hook, make a chain as long as you want the camera handle to be. Attach it by sewing it on with the yarn needle. If you can not crochet, then make a braid and sew it on. Hide all ends.
