Ok, so I'm not a fan of cases, but I had some scraps left from the camera strap tutorial a few posts below see : Making my camera straps more girly From the scraps, I ended up making a telephoto bag (I've been using a satin-y gift bag for "protection" haha) a small sleeve for my digital camera as well as one for my iphone. I had the day to myself today, and I moved the sewing machine into my room so I can sew in peace. I tried to sew everything quickly so my mom didn't come home and lecture me about how ugly my seams were..and how I didn't back-stitch on a lot of the seams. This took me awhile. The little cases were really easy, but the large telephoto lens bag was a headache. I made the bag, double stitched it for security and... the bag was TOO small. I spent a good 30 minutes removing all of my stitching... then had to piece together a few scraps to make it the correct size. Then I had to figure out how to secure the top. I was going to do a draw string, but the fabric is way too thick. Thankfully I figured it out. and hopefully this will give my lens better protection (I really don't like the bulky cases from lowepro... I have a small one which is nice.. but the telephoto ones are huge!)
I should have made the straps a little longer... it kind of bunches up and gets short .. I'm going to sharpie the places that are red so it's not quite as obvious
Telephoto Bag.. yes that is a hair tie... : ) I needed something elastic to loop around the button.
One of the few times I want to protect my gadgets... when I use my evening bag..... 
I don't know if it's just my type of bag, but if I wear my bag with the wrong side facing in, my bag opens up wide and things fall out... but if this were to happen, at least my camera and phone will be safer :)... and would have a higher chance of surviving the tumble. : D I think to play it safe.. I will not use the straps as often...All of these things = 1/4 of a yard of fabric.. and a mere $2.50 : )
