i've been asked if i made them before and just never took the idea on so it was nice to finally do it. it was a bit harder than i expected but i guess all new designs are the first time. the request for the bag was to NOT be shaped like a diaper bag and have lots of pockets. once i found the right fabric-the request was for a plaid and i used a vintage find from an the Salvation Army sale last year-i had to really think about functionality. seeing i don't have kids i had to do a bit of research!
i ended up doing a version of my Louise Bag...this one is wider on the sides and bottom so it sits up on it's own very easily. then i did a large pocket the width of the outside front and back that sits almost 3/4 high. the inside has one really big pocket, a long pocket divided in two and 2 elastic side pockets for bottles. all the pockets are in different fun fabrics. i detailed the strap with a black asymmetrical border and 2 orange lines of stitching.
i am really happy how it came out and just hope she is too!!
