Birdie Sling! by Amy Butler

I fell IN LOVE with the Amy Butler Birdie Sling the moment I saw it. I purchased the pattern with some of my birthday money but have not had a minute to make one! Well, at least one for myself. Aunt Karen commissioned me to make one for her daughter-in-law's baby shower! It's a great diaper bag - holds a ton but doesn't SCREAM diaper bag. Super cute and very stylish! It was difficult to pick fabric for someone that I barely know, but I went with an ultra-modern home decorator print - Chocolate brown with turquoise stripes. It turned out stunning - even if I did get very friendly with my seam ripper! I am mad at myself to procrastinating so long with this project. I finished it less than 1 hour before I was to be at the shower so the pictures were very rushed and do NOT do this beautiful bag justice. The good news? Since decorator fabric is so wide, I have enough to make myself one!!!! Yeah! Now the bad news? I can't seem to find the time!!! *sigh* someday....

Another Nappy Bag

I just finished up my 10th AB Nappy Bag yesterday. Each one has been so different - haven't made 2 the same yet. I tried to get cutesy with the inside pockets on this one and trimmed them with the exterior fabric - really I did that to try to make the pockets easier to see! I also took away one bottle pocket and added elastic to the other. And of course, I made a matching diapee & wipee! I'm very pleased with the way it turned out and I hope the mama likes it too!!

More Diaper Bags!

I made 2 more bags using the Nappy Bag by Amy Butler. This time I scaled them down about about 10% or so. The pink bag was a baby gift and I made the madras print for myself!

The AB Nappy Bag

I love the Nappy Bag by Amy Butler It's an incredibly easy pattern and makes for a great diaper bag. I've been making several lately for baby gifts. Here's the 1st one I made. Took me a few hrs extra because I did A LOT of ripping, but I had fun and I love it. I used the print Maxfield by Alexander Henry





Inside view - it has 7 pockets


I was feeling extra ambitious and made a matching diapee & wipee case
