Messenger Diaper Bag!

Filed Under: Sewing

yellow messenger bag hanging on door knob
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.

    Very cute – I printed this pattern to make a few weeks ago and I only have 9 weeks left before little man comes so I better get on it. Thanks for showing a different version and for letting me know you think its a great pattern. Be blessed!

    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.

    Love it! I think the yellow looks fabulous on the outside. This would work nicely for a camera bag too. You sure look beautiful in your maternity pictures – wish I had looked like that a few weeks before my due date! Thanks so much for linking up to The Creative Spark!

    P.S. Super cute blog – I have really enjoyed looking around!

    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!
