Tweed & Leather Camera case

[Eagleman]

Spent tonight making this tweed and leather case for my camera. I bought a new tough camera so wanted a non-padded case that clips onto my belt, bag or climbing harness. The tweed is from some really small offcuts that my other half got from the Harris Tweed shop and is glued with contact adhesive to the leather (smooth side inwards). Sides are just tweed and the whole lot is saddle stitched together. Tender fingers but feeling pretty chuffed with myself.

Thon's richt braw Eagleman. Like that a lot, kind've plays on some highland cyber-punk themes in my head at the moment. Hope you enjoy using it too.

I keep thinking of a Harris tweed and leather styleeeee possibles pouch.

How did you glue the tweed to the leather?

Cheers

Thanks for the nice comments. You can often get tartan free at kilt makers, so that is another possibility.

I just used contact adhesive and put just enough on the fabric so that it didn't soak through.

Not my taste in cloth... But nicely and neatly done bud

Many thanks. That was my fear so i'll have to be light handed with the evostick.

Cheers.

Now that is class.
Nice and unusual well executed top job fella and a tilt of the cap for you

With a different glue you could just put a light layer on the leather and lay the fabric on top. The only semi-flexible glue I had that I thought would work was contact adhesive so that was what I ended up using. As it is stitched too, the glue doesn't really have any structural component, so probably doesn't matter too much what glue you use. The stitching kept the edge of the fabric from fraying, which was a happy accident.

Many thanks. That was my fear so i'll have to be light handed with the evostick.

Cheers.

I like that its very different and sure to not get mistaken with other standard camera cases
