Re: My favorite creation...

That is tooo adorable! I like that much more than any commercial diaper bags I have seen on the market.
I am impressed as well with your creation, and I like the way of thinking, no mistakes just creative thinking!
What did you use to give it body and shape? That is what always scares me away from trying to make bags. I want them to have body and shape, but am afraid of the bulk in the seam allowances.
Thank You so much for sharing and giving inspiration!

Re: My favorite creation...

thank you all so much...
as for making it... i took the strips left from the quilt and just stitched them all together and cut them into section pieces... the machine embroidered "angles" were bordered with the strips...this is in 3 sections (from top to bottome... i just backed each with thin batting.. and did "free motion".. good way to practice..

i made a front and back... then made a long strip to be the bottom and sides of the bag..(whatever i "squared it all up" to be is the size... i then just make a lining for the whole thing and some handles...add a loop and closure.. "Bob's you uncles"...
People know by now that ANYTHING i make will be one of a kind and not to ask for another one just like it... if i can find the pics of the whole set i'll post the as well.... thanks again...

Re: My favorite creation...

GrammaBabs, WOW! What a beautiful bag! And one of a kind like the baby to be!!! I love that way of making things too!! Mistakes make things your own and not bought but handmade. You did a super job and I know the mother will love it.

Re: My favorite creation...

What a gorgeous bag! I always envy those who can dream up projects with no pattern. It's good that some of you can do it I guess. Otherwise there would be no one to make the patterns.
