I wanted to make a little bag to match my new wipe case and hold everything needed for a diaper change on the go-
First I laid out my fabrics, right sides together with a piece of fusible fleece on top-
I wanted it to hold three diapers, plus my new wipes case so I laid those on top to measure -
Then I cut the fabric leaving room for sewing the seams. It ended up being about 9x26 inches.
Then I started sewing, I went around 3 of the sides-
then trimmed the corners and turned it right side out-
It looked like this. The outside will be floral and the lining will be the purple print material-
I wanted the flap edge rounded so I traced a mixing bowl on the top, then turned it inside out again and sewed along the line leaving a small space to turn again-
I turned it right side out and sewed on some Velcro squares-
I pinned some ribbon onto the front letting it hang over the edge a little. Then I sewed up the edges to form a little bag (inside out again)-
When I flipped it it looked like this - finished, but I didn't really love the way the flap looked-
So I cut a 2-inch strip of my purple fabric to make a ruffle and sewed it in half-
Then I started pinning it to the flap in a pleated ruffle-
Once I stitched that into place I liked the finished look a little more-
With the flap open-
filled with my wipes case and 3 diapers-
What an adorable little set! I'm so happy with the way these turned out! I'm definitely going to be making more to share with friends!
Super duper cute!! Almost makes me wish Rylin wasn't potty trained....almost lol.
