Little Photographer Camera Softie – New Pattern Release

I’m so excited to share the newest Swoodson Says PDF sewing pattern – the Little Photographer Camera! Easy to sew as a softie for a baby or a make-believe toy for a child, this is the perfect pattern to use for birthday party gifts. There is a neck strap and wrist strap option, with a vinyl ‘view-finder’ in the back to slide pictures in and out for pretend play.

You can see the front and back – perfect opportunity to use up scraps and personalize it with your kid’s favorite fabrics. Check out the versions my awesome pattern testers sewed up!

Yellow floral camera sewn by Stephanie Seuser, Polka dotted camera sewn by Amanda of The Compulsive Crafter (and she has a shop, Mae & Co, so if you’re interested in buying a made softie instead of sewing your own, send her a message!)

Awesome mixed print camera sewn by Courtney at The Wholesome Mama, fun graphic camera sewn by Amy at Friends Stitched Together, and funky monster camera sewn by Jonie at Knot Sew Normal.

Jonie also hacked the pattern to make a little purse for her daughter – how cute is that!! I already had someone ask about doing this before I knew she had tried it, so hopefully I will share a tutorial on how to do it later in the year.

Absolutely adorable, right!! You can buy it in my shop right here or Etsy. I can’t wait to see more cameras being sewn!
