Diamond Zipper Pouches via See Kate Sew

I stumbled across this tutorial and free pattern for these cute diamond zipper pouches from See Kate Sew awhile ago. With my love for all things gems I knew that I had to make a couple.

What I'm Making: Camera Bag Insert

Back to school has been very crazy, as I assume it has been  for almost everyone. My semester has gotten off to a pretty good start, though. I even have a couple fun classes. The one I am most excited about is a digital photography course.

I got my camera several years ago, but until recently it was homeless without a camera bag. I knew I wanted something nice, not a traditional camera bag. I came across a black faux-leather studded bag at H&M that would fit my camera perfectly and knew that I had found the bag.

 

But, I thought my camera would probably need a little more protection. 

DIY: Little Leather Snap Pouch

After weeks of beautiful sunshine, the rain started pouring and disrupted my plans of doing a DIY outside. And then I got sick. Great week, right. So what do you do when its raining and you're sick, other then sit around and watch TV? Well, you push the pile of tissues aside and make stuff!
I saw some leather pouches when I was at American Apparel and thought they were adorable. Here, I've made the perfect purse size leather snap pouch using a scrap of leather.
