I decided to put some of my new fabric to good use...so I made myself a new diaper bag! A messenger diaper bag.
It has pockets for everything....lots of pockets.Velcro closure for pockets on the side...
2 front pockets...
Nice roomy & stretchy pouches inside...
and a back zippered pocket.
And wouldn't you know, after I finished the bag, I decided that I would have liked it better with the yellow on the inside. It's true! Oh well, I still like it and it is growing on me. I guess somehow I didn't imagine it being this bright when it was finished!
The Hip Mama Diaper Bag tutorial is free and was FANTASTIC! I would definitely recommend it. The only addition I made was to make a loop on the side for my mini antibacterial gel/holder to attach to.

That turned out great! I love the yellow and grey. I just made a purse with that grey houndstooth:)
Heather says
I really like the bright colored material you used. I have to make one soon! I'm expecting my 4th in about 11 weeks and don't want to pay the prices I've seen on Etsy for diaper bags. Thanks for the great example...I'm a little worried though because I am a very novice sewer.

What a gorgeous picture! Such a pretty mama, you look fantastic! Isn't it great to be able to organzie and nest when you're in those last few weeks of pregnancy? I always loved being able to do that. And your diaper bag looks great, awesome job!
