One Christmas Present Complete Saturday


(photo replaced 12-8-09 to include a daytime photo of the bag with truer colors)
I made my daughter-in-law a diaper bag with some Amy Butler fat quarters I had in my stash. The pattern is Pocket Parade Tote by Penny Sturges. Room for bottles in the side pockets (I added a few already) and a few rings added to the handle.  There are lots more pockets inside and I added a key ring.  First grandbaby is due next year - Yipee!!!

I have another fat quarter I am going to use to make a changing pad to roll up and put inside.

Fabulous. I like that it could be used as a tote after the baby grows out of diapers aswell.

Love and hugs Gina xxx

Fab! You should make some matching or coordinating burp cloths too. This link is a free tutorial. http://www.youcanmakethis.com/info/free/Free-YCSTProjectPart-2Burpies.htm

I made a few for my BFF. She had her baby girl on Friday. Just need to finish up a couple more things and I can send them off to her.
