Diaper Bag

My latest sewing project was a diaper bag for Baby #3! My nice diaper bag has Buddy's name on it, I used it for Dolly, but felt I wanted a new one this time :) After scouring the net for a diaper bag tutorial, I found this one that looked perfect at Sew 4 Home. I always struggle with bags falling off my shoulder, so I loved that this one had long straps so it could go across your body like a messenger bag! My only critique would be that the bag is a little deep, I maybe would have made it 4" more shallow, but it's great for holding lots of goodies!

We'll see how it holds up! It was recommended to use Polyurethane laminate inside for water proof, but I couldn't find any, so I used cotton - which is prettier anyway :)


Below is the pockets inside, it'll look better when they are full :)
 My pictures don't do the bag justice.

  4. Oh wow. Love it. Love the fabrics you chose and the fun colorful patterns. My diaper bag was so boring. I wish I could have a "do over" :-)
    Thanks for sharing on Motivated Monday at BeColorful.

  8. Hi ...nice job...but when you wrote it was " it a little deep" does that mean you felt it was to tall or too high ...& you would have preferred it was 4 inches shorter ?
