I made some homemade marshmallows, well attempted to I think they are going to get remelted for rice crispy treats as they seem to be a little too sticky this time around. I also made a big pot of spegetti sauce, this was all before 10 am.
We then made a run out to take my good sewing machine to the repair shop, again, the third time in 6 months :(.
Luckily I have a backup machine, not the greatest but it works. So when we got home from all the running I decided to do a little sewing for myself. I can't remember the last time I made something for me and not something for someone else or baby diapers. Well I made a diaper bag so it's not all for me.
I used this tutorial and adapted it to work with this old military blouse.
And made a nice bag that looks like this
And pockets on the back
and on the inside too
I'm going to give it a try, it's not quite as big as I was wanting it, I'm trying to go back to full time cloth diapering which means needing a pretty big bag to go out with. It was a nice simple and fun project to do on a relaxing "day off"

very cute!
I usually just keep extra cloth diapers in the back of the car, and bring one or two in my bag when we are out. or I change him in the car when we get where we are going, so I don't have to carry such a huge diaper bag all the time.
Yeah I do that too, I need a bag for when we are away from the car for hours though, which is often what happens when we go out here. I always have the stroller with me when we do that so I just stick the bag in the stroller basket.
I filled it this morning and it's full, 3 inserts, 2 covers, a wet bag, formula container, water bottle, two little blocks, first aid kit, burp cloth, wipe case, pull up for Olivia, I still need to be able to put a big and some solid food in it. So I think I will make another bag and use this one for toys.
I wish I had half your creative genius! That's such a neat idea!
OH, thank you Dawn, this is far from original, there is another spouse here that makes and sells these in several styles, I have two more of these tops that I'm going to make bags for my nephew and Olivia but I'm going to get new name tapes done for them.
