Nappy Bag




I decided to make my own diaper bag using the "Nappy Bag" pattern from Amy Butler. The exterior fabric is also from Amy Butler. It was a big project. Lots of pockets inside and a small cell phone pocket outside. I'm really happy with it.

(We also bought a Skip Hop diaper bag that clips onto the stroller and that husband likes.)

WOW! Amazing!

I like the print. Maybe I should have talked with you when I was working on a design for a toddler tote (instead of a diaper bag...once they become toddlers, it seems like your needs in a diaper bag change a bit, so I designed some alternatives, but I don't sew and the seamstress I was going to make it with never worked it out in her schedule...). Anyways, you ROCK! I am so impressed and I think you'll really enjoy your bag.

SO COOL!

i ordered the pattern online before i realized that a lot of local fabric shops carry amy butler patterns. i bought the amy butler fabric from a local shop. i'm really happy with the decor weight fabric on the exterior. it makes it much sturdier than just using light-weight cotton.

call me if you have any questions!

I just came across your blog. Just wanted to let you know that I host a free giveaway every week on my blog for high quality, American made products. I don't make any money off of this, I just want to see more attention given to these products and more jobs stay in America.

I'm trying to spread the word! Come check it out!
