Hi Friends!
I'm so excited that today, Jennifer over at Tatertots and Jell-o is hosting a Sweet Floweret giveaway! If you have a second, check it out tonight-she's posting at 7pm or so ;)! If you're visiting from TT&J, welcome! Love having you here.
This post is going to be short but sweet. First week of school and it's been a doozy!
Had to add this pic of my oldest. I think he's the cutest thing in this picture! So excited to start school and make new friends. My second starts next week ;)
Last week, a friend of mine requested that I make a diaper bag. I've never made a "diaper bag" per se. My opinion is, any big bag can be a diaper bag (right?). I've made a bunch of bags before and you know my love affair with pleats and totes, but I wanted to try something new. SO I went on google images, typed in "big tote tutorial" and stumbled across this one. Found it over at artsy-crafty babe (Rebeka Lampert's) site. She has loads of other patterns for sale too.
The Pleated Tote is one of two free downloads...
Simple, cute and fun.
Great for a beginner and doesn't require any hardware! I like that ;) I love how it turned out.
She said she wanted funky. I think this is funky... don't you?
I added lots of pockets to the inside for all those diapery things.
Well, have a great Friday! Thanks for stopping by!

He's so scholastic and mature, Tina. Love it!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE that bag! I know its a diaper bag, but you should make mom bags too! Your son is cute - my 2 guys start school next week. Coming from vb - nice to meet you.
