I got a new toy a couple of months ago and have really enjoyed playing around with it. This Fujifilm Instax Camera has been on my wishlist for quite some time now and I decided it was time to get one!
I love the vintage look that these wallet sized pictures have and it's so fun getting to see them instantly! It doesn't have a digital screen so you never really know what's going to develop after you snap a picture. It doesn't have a professional finish but if you're looking for a fun camera to take to the beach or just enjoy in your backyard, this is it!
I needed a pouch for it and couldn't find any cute patterns anywhere so I made my own! This is my very first pattern that isn't all squares and rectangles. I drew the pattern pieces myself and added darts for a nice round finish. The result: The Bella Pouch!
My Instax camera fits snuggly inside and I even added a roomy pocket to hold all my pictures on the go. Although it's the perfect size for this camera, I think it would also be a cute clutch or bag for any camera. I'm working on writing up a pattern for it and will have it available soon. (Pattern now available!)
I'm also working on a new free tutorial for you guys. It's something that I've received many requests for! Here's a hint: It's something I named after my mom. Can you guess what it is??
This looks awesome! My sister has that camera...perfect!
