When Chintu's Diaper bag worn out, I wanted to buy a new one specially I was thinking a lot about if I can make a one myself for my dearmost person in the world.
I was so happy to find soooo many tutorials for so many lovely bags, but I should consider few points in my mind..my sewing skill offcourse ;) I could not take a pattern too complicate to sew, the availability of materials, time taken to complete the bag.
The ocean of bags tutorial is this. http://diybaglover.blogspot.in/
and this. http://www.bhg.com/crafts/sewing/accessories/easy-to-sew-bags/#page=16
The above is the site which I used to follow everyday for so many updated and new ideas all over the world.
Even though I was so eager doing this bag, http://www.sewcando.com/2012/01/making-laminated-messenger-bag.html, I was convinced and pulled towards towards this model,since the tutorial is picture clear and it was upto my sewing skill :D http://cocojdesigns.blogspot.in/2009/05/annas-diaper-bag-tutorial.html
But I made few alterations to the original version.I wanted 2 packets outside instead of 1 and also wanted a
big single packet at the other side as well.
The only difference is I didnt used a batting to quilt the cloth since till date I could not find any store in Mumbai where I can find batting(It would be a great help if somebody who reads this direct me to one).
I finished the packets and the outer layer.It was so nice other than the fact that it was not stiff at al since I didnt use batting :(
But I didnt want to waste or loose the bag.So I just added ruffles,zipper and straps to it and made it as my shopping bag :D
This was really helpful and nice for me since we used to buy plastic carry bags everywhere we go and now we just fold it to keep inside my baby's diaper bag and use it when needed. :)
