I needed to make something for me, something cute AND practical.
Something I knew would not turn into a "craft failure."
I have found that a traditional "diaper" bag isn't working so well anymore.
Now that B is mobil my bags were constantly falling off my shoulder and either spilling everything on the ground or coming dangerously close to smacking B in the face as I bent down to help her.
Super annoying.
So I decided to make a bag perfect for the park and chasing a toddler! :)
Its slim and light but has just enough room for the essentials.
Plus, the ever important cell phone pocket so you aren't digging around the bag to find your phone.
( As its ringing loudly in the middle of toddler reading time. )
I used dark fabric so it will hide the dirt of summer use but can easily go into the washer.
and just because...

It was fun to make something for myself. I should do it more.
Super cute! Did you use a pattern or make it up from scratch?
ReplyDeleteI just made it up. I really need to start recording the steps in order to make tutorials. Arg.
ReplyDeletePlease post dimensions! I love the size and shape of that bag. And boy will I need one this summer, two girls with a baby on the way. I don't have enough hands.
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric, so cute!
I found your blog from Sewing in No Mans Land. I love it!
