evan's diaper bag

this is one of my larger-sized diaper bags (16 x 19 or so) and...i actually used leftover scraps from other projects to make this bag, besides the interfacing.  the leather straps were also given to me by a friend who wasn't going to use them.  so...i'm proud to say that i basically spent under $10 or $15 to make this bag!  besides the time spent making it, it really is a bargain.

because of the different sized scraps, the inside of the bag is made up of 3 different coordinating fabrics.  i put in a cell-phone pocket, 2 regular pockets, and 2 elastic pockets.  the closure is a snap closure.

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:

team bags

both of these bags were gifts/orders, so i've been holding out on posting them until they were received.

this bag is for baby conner, a steelers fan in the making.

complete with a steelers-type font!

and i made a matching burp cloth to go with it:

and here is an FSU purse for a friend's birthday gift (looks like they're having a good season so far, too!  go noles!)

the closure is made with a button and FSU ribbon.

my new bag for summer

time for a new bag....for myself.  this one could easily work as a diaper bag since it's large (12x17). 

sophie's bag

my sister just had a baby girl, sophie, and this is our gift to her...a custom diaper bag, in the fabrics she wanted.  the fabric is a sage green and chocolate brown nursery rhyme toile, chocolate brown and white dots for the trim and the lining, and chocolate brown on the bottom.

madison's diaper bag

this is a smaller bag perfect for when you need to bring the necessities only.  the inside has 3 bottle pockets and a cell phone pocket.  the back of the bag shows more of the roses on the top fabric piece, but i needed lots of brown space on the front so the name would show up well.

tessa's purse

this purse is for a one-year-old who loves carrying her big sister's purse around!  it's perfect for carrying around all the necessities a one-year-old needs:  toys, a stuffed animal maybe, and...if she's like my kate....a cell phone already!  :)

debbie's bag

this bag is for a very special person...debbie took hours of pictures for us the night that jonathan was born, as well as some great family and maternity pictures a few months ago. this bag is a small way of saying "thank you." debbie can be reached for all your photo needs at http://www.deborahhaussermannphotography.com/.

jennifer's bag

my friend jennifer picked out some great fabrics for her new bag. it's finished with a snap closure and hand-stained wooden rings on the straps. this bag can be embroidered.
