Multipurpose totes & embellished yoga pants/shirt

May 16, 2008

Just some very versatile multipurpose tote bags for Retro Femme tonight at 10pm EST! NO pattern.. cotton webbing handles, pleats at top. 16x18x2 Sling or shoulder style.

And some yoga pants I bought and embellished with velvet iron ons. and a t-shirt. These are all 6-12 month size and in my Etsy shop

I know pretty boring stuff… but that was all I got accomplished in my “extra” time after sewing more wholesale diapers 😉 hehe

Our diaper bag.. made with Joel Dewberry “Aviary” fabrics

February 24, 2008

So I heavily modified 2 pattern pieces from a Butterick tote bag pattern to make this diaper bag for us.

I quilted the front/bag/sides with fusible fleece, added stiff peltex to the bottom for a little stamina on the bottom. Put snaps on the sides so I could bring them in or unsnap when I needed the bag to be HUGE. Small pockets inside on both ends, and then a long pocket separated down the middle on the other. Made a “tab” to fold over and snap onto the front to hold the bag together.. There are 3 snap settings for when the bag is barely full, full, and loaded, lol.  And there is a doubled over strip of twill tape in the side seam inside with a snap on the end and at the seam to snap on a paci, keys, toys, etc.

Here are some pics!

Regrets: The tab is too long, I wish I would have interfaced the lining too to make it even more sturdy *although it does stand all on its own EMPTY*, and I think I would have liked it a tad bit smaller, like an inch shorter and wider.
