Ansel Camera Bag Pattern by Sew Sweetness

I was so excited to have the opportunity to test a pattern for Sara Lawson of Sew Sweetness. The pattern is called the Ansel Camera Bag, and offers 3 sizes. The medium and large feature an adjustable divider. It’s a fully padded bag with lots of room for customizing. I made mine with snaps just for fun, but the pattern calls for hook and loop. Here’s my medium, made with Amy Adams’ Geekly Chic 2 Pink Cameras, for Riley Blake Designs, from Stay Home Fabrics.

The medium and large has instructions for 2 buckles to close the lid; whereas, the small has one buckle to close it. The bag also calls for an adjustable strap. I added an interior pocket to mine as well.

This bag did have a lot of prep because of all the pieces and basting and fusing, but I found once I got to the sewing stage, it came together quite quickly.

You’ll have lots of time to pick your fabrics out for this one, because the pattern isn’t due to be released until May. 
I have some map fabric that will be great for my next Ansel. What fabric would you choose for this fun and functional bag? UPDATE: This pattern is now available here.

Another Update: Now you can get an instructional video to go along with your pattern. Grab the bundle until March 8, 2018, or just the Ansel here.
