Something Sew New

I have talked to several people about my newest fun little hobby of sewing. I am nowhere close to being a master seamstress yet (haha) but I am loving learning this!!! This post is really for the few of you that have asked me about the diaper bags I have made (you all know who you are ;-) I decided I wanted to learn to make some diaper bags since I have so many friends and family having babies. I was so excited that I had an excuse to make one for myself as a "test run" so that I know it would be gift giving worthy!

This is mine. It was a good thing I did a test run first!

The inside with pockets.

This was my first thing to make to give someone (you are special Mariet =)

for my friend who will be having a baby boy within the next couple weeks!!!

The second time around was definitely an improvement. Here are the two side by side.

And to give credit where due- these happen to both be Amy Butler fabrics and the pattern is The Diaper Bag by CraftApple.

My next project will be a bag for my mom- but not a diaper bag =) I will branch out and try something different. I will let you know how it goes! I also started a dress for the girls, but it's resting in my pile.I need some help on that one... I will stick to bags until someone can help me with the complicated clothing pieces.
