A Sweet Diaper Bag for Baby Boy

Hello! I have been sewing up a storm, however, I have been negligent in posting pictures and details here on the blog. That means I have lots to share! Today's bag is one that was really fun to make. It was ordered as a diaper bag to be given at a baby shower, complete with pockets and lots of fun colour. The recipient knows she is expecting a boy, but they haven't selected a name as of yet. So it was requested that the last name of the family be embroidered on the front.  The baby's nursery is done is a lovely pewter colour, accented with turquoise and green and I think this tote bag fits right in!

The lady who ordered this tote, was looking for a unique and personal gift. She knows the new mom would like a stylish bag for baby's goodies, but after scouring store after store she was unimpressed by what she found. Plenty of dark colours or plastic linings and uninspired on the whole. She wanted a bag that screamed "Stylish Mommy!" above all else.  When she contacted me, she indicated she was looking for a stylish diaper tote that would grow with baby and look great while not being too "babyish".  I think that this tote bag meets all the criteria, while being a unique and thoughtful gift. The colours are just so happy!! Have a  peek at the finished product!

The handles are accented with an apple green chevron ribbon and they are just the right combination of functional and fun. They are reinforced several times to allow for heavy duty wear and tear. 

Oh, and that lining? Could that colour be any better??? Cheery turquoise compliments the stitching of the initial and name. 

And, because it is my firm belief that all things are better with a sprinkling of polka dots, I had to find a way to work them into this project. Check out the interior pockets!

 I think that this bag is just the thing for a stylish new mom to tote around town : ) Have a happy Saturday evening! I have a sweet birthday onesie to share with you all shortly. See you soon!
