I just made 2 of these, 1 for me for traveling and the other for my DIL to use as a diaper bag ...there are alot of steps but nothing too hard and they sure do turn out nice. I had my fabric pre quilted at the local LA shop ( a tight meandor) first and it gave the bag alot more body and structure !

I made that one. Great bag, the parents loved it!

I made a bag in class to learn how to make bags. It was a big bag with pockets on the sides. My friend at work found out she was having twins so it worked out well for her. I put some things in it for her like "Butt paste," wipes, and diapers. She had an older son who was a toddler so she put some of his toys in it as well. My daughter in law liked a small bag my sister made for her for diapers. Both worked well with their own preferences

I have made several diaper bags for others. I found a pattern on all free sewing that works well. I put pockets on the outside and the inside. A zipper on the top and handles that can go around the shouldar or the neck to make it easier to handle with baby in tow. http://www.allfreesewing.com/Sewing-...g-pattern/ct/1 Here is the basic pattern that I started with and I vary it according to the needs of the mother to be.

The first diaper bag I made was with a pattern I purchased on youcanmakethis.com and I have made many, many more since then, but it helped me get started and I can do it in my sleep now!

My friend made this one. It has 11 pockets. She made it 1 inch wider and 2 inches deeper and it was so cool. The mama loved it.

Here is a pattern for a diaper clutch pattern which my daughter just loved for those quick trips and having it with them wherever they go ... so make the bigger bag and get enough fabric to make a matching diaper clutch... I made one for my son in law (who was in the Army) out of camoflage fabric for their little man !!
