Camera Lens Cap Pouch – Free Sewing Pattern

January 10, 2023 by Anne Weaver

Camera Lens Cap Pouch - Free Sewing Pattern

Always misplacing your camera lens cap? I know I am! Somehow it always ends up in the front pocket of my jeans, and then I forget about it and later wonder where my lens cap has run off to.

This camera lens cap pouch will help keep that from happening. It attaches to your camera strap so you’ve always got a place to hold your lens cap.  You can sew one using a tutorial from It’s So Corinney.  This is a fun project that you can sew quickly from your scrap stash.  This would also make a great gift for anyone who loves photography!

If you’re making it a gift, you could also add in a handmade camera strap cover.  This easy sewing tutorial from Skip To My Lou makes a strap cover to fit any standard DSLR camera strap.  It’s padded to make the strap more comfortable to wear.  It uses long strips of fabric so if you have some left over strips from a precut jelly roll of fabric you could use a couple of them to make a pretty camera cover. 

Or, if you don’t have long strips of fabric laying around your sewing space, this patchwork camera strap from Simple Simon and Co. is super pretty.

This padded DSLR camera bag by Sew Very Crafty would also make an awesome present for someone who loves photography!  This handmade bag is so much prettier than the standard plain black canvas that most camera bags are made from.  You can personalize it with fabric choice. 

Or how about sewing a toy camera? See Kate Sew shows how you can make an adorable little felt camera for kids to play pretend with.  The soft felt toy is perfect for young children and will provide tons of pretend play fun.

Monday Musings: My Fabric Stash is Judging Me (A Love-Hate Relationship)

I have a problem. Well, several problems, but today we’re talking about the 37 yards of fabric currently taking up residence in my closet. Some of it’s been there so long it could legally vote. That beautiful linen? Bought for a specific project in 2018. The designer wool? “Too nice to cut.” The rainbow of quilting cotton? Well, it was on sale.

Every time I open that closet, I swear the fabric whispers, “Remember when you were going to make that dress?” The guilt is real. But so is the joy of petting my hoard like a fabric dragon sitting on her treasure.

Last week I tried the KonMari method. I got as far as “does this spark joy?” before buying three more yards of floral voile. Some habits die hard.
