Finally!

I made a bag!! It took me F-O-R-E-V-E-R! I saw this pattern a long time ago and decided that I would some day get ambitious enough to get around to it. I thought what better time to make it than now for a diaper bag for the new little chica coming soon. Me and my friend got together and I won't tell you how many times or how long it took us because yes it is depressing but it is done!! I know those are some pretty crazy prints, it must have been one of those "crazy" days when I was picking out fabric, but I couldn't be more happy with it and I'm glad it's done.



INSIDE


I saw some really cute appliqued onesies and decided I would experiment and make my own. Let's just say it will probabaly be my last. Wonder Under is NOT my thing. I know there are some of you out there that think I'm crazy because I've been told so, but it just plain SUCKS to work with. So here's to never doing that again and here's to probably never putting the baby in them because of the cringe I get every time I look at them.


Alex wanted in on the picture fun....

I love the bag! Where'd you get the pattern? I need a new diaper bag/purse, and have been tweeking a pattern I already have, but I like yours better.

It seems that everyone in AZ has chic bags. I started lusting after Erika's when she posted hers, with the cute initial embroidery! I LOVE yours too! Don't worry about it being crazy-we are crazy kind of people.

P.S. I still think you should make me one...I could die you know ;)

I love the bag. Don't want to do it, but I love the bag. And I think you make a great leprachaun, especially pregnant! I wish I had been there to witness it. Very cool fabric!
