Well now that the holidays are over I finally have time to catch my breath. Today was the first day I worked on a project since Christmas! But I did want to post the major, big project I did was my sister's diaper bag. She is going to have a baby girl in February so I thought it would be a great present.

It all started late one night when I couldn't sleep. So it was about 2 am and I was watching Project Runway and just started sketching bags. I started with some handbags and then moved onto my sister's diaper bag. I thought it would look really cool with quilting (wow, was that some work!) In the end I was super excited about how the bag turned out, but have to say I probably won't do one with quilting again. It didn't fit into my sewing machine at times so I had to hand sew some layers.
My favorite is the inside lining. But you shouldn't look at it for too long because I know I was getting headaches as I worked with it.
The bag also has three outside pockets, one large pocket on the front and two on the side that you can fit bottles into.


It's beautiful. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat's really cute, Heidi! Impressive with the quilting. Tim Gunn must have kept you going at the tough parts :)
