Tutorial: Turn a large purse into a camera bag

I take my camera just about anywhere we might have some photo-worthy moments. For now, I’m carrying it around in my black Nikon camera bag, but I ‘d really love something a little more fashionable – a lot less obviously a camera bag – than the black nylon case. I’ve seen some pretty bags at my local camera shop, but the price tag makes me weak in the knees. (Seriously, I could buy myself a kickin’ new lens for the price of the bag!)

Ashley from Make It and Love It shares a tutorial on her blog showing how to convert a large purse or tote into a stylish camera bag. The foam inserts can easily be removed should you ever want to turn it back into a regular purse. Get the tutorial at Make It and Love It.
