*** You may find using a #5 zipper with pins can cause your zipper to be wavy. A #3 zipper may work better. If you use a #5, clip or glue your zipper instead of using pins.

SEWING EXPERIENCE: This project is not very difficult but very time consuming if you are making the camera insert. Expect the first bag to take anywhere from 6 to 8 hours if making the entire bag including insert. Because of the length of the project, this project is suitable for intermediate sewing skills.
