A dear friend of mine had a baby a while ago. I really wanted to make her some things, not just buy something she could use. So I made her a nursing cover, and a diaper bag.
Now I don't know about you, but diaper bags are an oddity to me. I never could find one I really liked. There are the monstrous ones you can carry a week's worth of diapers in. I bought one of those with my first and quickly realized how ridiculous it was to carry that much stuff everywhere I went! Then there are the basic ones they give you at the hospital I always seemed to get the lame one - either a wild, cheesy print that screamed BABY, BABY! or one made of vinyl so cheap, all the pockets were ripped out in a week.
You can find really nice diaper bags, but you'll pay a pretty penny for a good one. So when I had baby number three, I took matters into my own hands.
I found a diaper bag tutorial online, and modified it slightly. Then I took what I learned and made another one for my dear friend. We visited the fabric store, she picked out the fabric and... it turned out so nice!
I spent a lot of time matching up all the stripes - I wanted it to be perfect! It was all worth it. Look at this beautiful, hip mama!
