I Love Custom Orders!

I love sewing custom orders for family and friends!

Here is the latest custom order for Bev's granddaughter and her new baby girl! I thought it came out so well so I thought I would share. Most of the fabric is from Michael Miller by Sandi Henderson with some Heather Bailey and Moda as well. My favorite new change is a gap in the sewn handle of the diaper bag to add a baby ring for attaching stuff. Feel free to let me know what you think and please keep me in mind next time you need a baby shower gift!

If you look closely you can see another sewn line in the handle just under where the handle flaps down. That is where a plastic baby ring can be attached!

Pockets! Five in total with a magnetic snap closure.

Diaper wipes holder and two burp cloths.

Minky backside of the lovie with ribbon tags.

Front of the lovie with a minky rose in the middle. The cool think about these roses is that they look better after washing.

Diaper Bag #3

So I'm on my third diaper bag. The first one, the green one, was awesome and lasted about 5 months until the zipper broke :-( The second one, the brown one, lasted about 6 months until the inner lining completely ripped apart. So now I'm one my third diaper bag and if this one rips or brakes it is all my fault because I gave up on mass produced bags and made my own!

This was my first attempted at a zipper and I'm happy to report that the zipper works and looks pretty good especially for a first attempt and the fact that my sewing mentor hates zippers and was very very little help (no offense mom). I also have the pattern for a smaller bag so if anyone is interested in buying one I can make one custom to any pattern you want. My pattern choice was determined by the precut sale bin.

There are two outside open pockets and four large inside pockets with a small pocket along the narrow side and a pen pocket...I got a little carried away with the pockets, but I use them all!
