Too often I get bogged down in making these posts perfect. Result? I never post. There’s obviously a fine line here, as I don't want the quality of these posts to suffer at the expense of quantity. I think the solution here is simply, smaller projects get smaller posts. I will also rely on photos to do most of the explanation for this work too. In this instance the final photos I have of this camera case suck ass, and will hopefully be replaced. My previous camera case was a pain to use. It wasn't really a camera case. Just the bag the camera came in with a cord stitched to it. It had a zipper and was a very tight fit which meant that it took a while to access the camera. This case was intended to make access much easier, with a small bayonet style closure and flap. I did like the easily adjustable length of my old case and have replicated that with a small stopper not in the hemp cord of the new one. This case is rough! The moulding process went so well that I was expecting every aspect of this project to be as succesful. That was not to be the case as cutting and stitching a semi flexible, yet very tough material is difficult to do precisely. I'm pleased with the form of the hardware, and the small cuts that allow it to be inserted into the leather work well, however the leather is deforming at these stress points and time will tell if reinforcement here was needed. Certainly a project that could be revisited, and which would benefit immensely from a more experienced leather worker.
