I Sewed a Diaper Bag

Really.  I sewed it!  It took a lot of work...and patience.  Thank-you Bryon for helping me with the really tough stuff.  I only drew blood on myself three times. 

I learned a few things with this project:
1. How to sew a pocket.
2. How to sew using bias tape (which I am in love with now!)
3. How to place a magnetic snap

Here are the pics:

The Front

The Back

The Inside...With a Pocket!


Overall, this was a fun endeavor.  Here are some interesting links that I used while making this bag:

    Good job!! Love the monkey fabric! How could you not remember how to work with bias tape? I'll give you the pocket. I hate zippers and button holes. Bryon is such a good guy to have patience (lots!) with you. Hmmm, business venture? We could do it! :)
