I made another one of Amy Butler’s Modern Diaper Bag’s from Little Stitches (which I am no longer borrowing from Ellie because I decided to keep it and give Ellie a new one, hehe)! But this time, it’s for me (it’s a rare occasion when I make something that I don’t give away)! I had been itching to use this fabric for something – it’s Anna Maria Horner’s Drawing Room Collection – Sketchbook in Blue. It’s pretty much my favorite fabric of 2008 – I adore it. I was waiting to use it on something that would show off the variety in the pattern and decided that a bag for me would be awesome. Little did I know that it would be MY diaper bag and not just a travel bag. I’m very happy with the way it turned out and it did get easier the second time around. I really think this pattern is really pretty easy to sew – it’s the cutting out of all the different layers that’s a pain!
Well, the completion of this diaper bag starts the beginning of my ‘create for baby’ sewing spree (which will hopefully include a sling, a quilt, some bedding and various other baby items). If only the 26th would just hurry up and get here to tell us if it’s a boy or a girl I could start picking out fabric!
It’s beautiful!
This is lovely, Elizabeth. I love the fabric! We can’t wait to hear what you’re having, either.
Love it. I know of at least one tutorial for doing all of the bedding for the crib…with a skirt and bumpers and sheets and stuff…want me to send you the link?
Sure! Little Stitches also has instructions but I’ll gather whatever information is out there!
WOW!!! That one is awesome! I love it I love it I love it!!!! Fantastic job! You are getting way too good at this!!
ok it’s official. i am getting THIS BOOK. that bag is darling.
SOOO cute! and way to be gender-neutral, that fabric is perfect for “is it a boy or is it a girl…”!
Love, love the bag and oh what gorgeous fabric! I can understand why its your favorite.
I am so excited to find out what you are going to have
I remember when i was pregnant with our first child i so much wanted to find out what we were having but DH would have none of it. I also used the “i want to know what colour clothes to buy lol” but he insisted on keeping it a surprise. I finally agreed and everyone was quite surprised that i didnt know what we were having, they thought i knew but was keeping it a secret.
We ended up having a beautiful girl.
I am so excited to see the final product now after drooling over the awesome fabric a month ago! GREAT JOB!
(and I am soooo excited to hear the good news!)
I have done some projects with this fabric. I love it!
Congrats on the girl! I’m lucky I had a boy (we didn’t know either), I wouldn’t be able to walk into Target without buying some cute girl thing.
