blueeyedbaby designs: diaper caddy

I learned how to sew a few years ago, when a sweet lady at my church taught me weekly lessons. When I first started, I didn't even know how to turn on my sewing machine! But within a few weeks, I was enjoying the fruits of my labor. Two sewing machines and an embroidery machine later, what began as a hobby grew into more of a small business as family and friends began to make "orders." I did this for a couple of years until my family began to grow. I don't have enough time in the current season of my life to take orders anymore, but I still enjoy sewing and making things as time allows. Thanks for visiting my blog!

diaper caddy

since we didn't want to crowd evan's room with a diaper changing table, we opted for a pad on the floor that can be pulled out from under the crib when needed. however, i needed something to hold all of the diapers, wipes, creams, lotions, on and on...so i went looking for something to do the job.

i fell in love with the diaper basket-caddies that pottery barn kids and other high-end stores make. they are perfect for diaper changes that occur in more than one location.

...but i didn't want to spend a bunch. so i decided to make my own!

i made a square fabric "basket" with two pockets on each side and a carrying strap, all without a pattern or a clue on how the finished product would turn out. but i am really, really happy with the end result!

here is what it looks like:
