Brown, Blue and Green Diaper Bag

 

Everyone loves babies, right? I know I do! So I decided to expand a little and try my hand at diaper bag making. Here is what I ended up with. Everything is reversible and machine washable!!!


I had some really cute colors! I made this for a friend who is expecting her first child in a few weeks. She is having a boy, but I also wanted colors that would work for a girl!


I used my pattern for a large messenger bag and  added pockets to the front for those little toys and such that get lost in the bottom. They are also good for momma's stuff too! And it still has the pockets on the side.


This picture gives you a size idea for the front pockets.

 

Here is a shot of the inside. Lots of room! :)

 

This is where it hangs on me (I'm 5' 4 1/2").

I really like the way the front pockets turned out!

I also made matching reversible accessories to go with. 

This is an envelope shaped case for the nursing blanket.
 

Here is the nursing blanket next to the case.


I also made a changing pad. I was very pleased with how well it turned out! It was much easier than I had thought it would be!


And here is the entire set! :)


The happy mother-to-be was also pleased.

Purple and blue stripe/ Paisley

Ok, so maybe it's not paisley, but I couldn't think of the pattern name right off.
I did this as a going-away present for a friend who was moving. She is also the one that took these gorgeous  pictures for me. I believe this was the large size which is  12"d x 13"l x 5"w.


This bag is personalized on just the one side.



 I love these colors!


Aren't the pictures amazing? If you want to contact the girl who took these then send me your contact info and I'll pass it on to her.
