New Bag

My apologies for the silence lately. I've been keeping myself quite busy with the to do list that I mentioned here. I'm happy to say that I checked off everything on the list except the nursing cover and maybe a diaper or two and even found time to make a few new things for my etsy shop! I'm feeling quite accomplished at the moment and now all I need to do is have a baby (I'm 3 days past due at this point if anyone is wondering.)

Anyway, I just finished my diaper bag today and thought I would share the pics. It didn't turn out exactly how I wanted because I'm a geometry flunky and boxed the corners too big. It's smaller than I had hoped because of that, but I think it will do just fine - for short trips at least. I didn't add any pockets on the inside because I'm the type to just toss stuff in, but I did add a zippered pocket on the outside to keep my keys, wallet and cell phone accessible.

Ok, enough blabbering, here it is:

It measures 8.5 inches wide, 11 inches tall and 5 inches deep. I really wanted it to be wider than it is tall, but that's all due to the boxed corners that were only supposed to be about 3.5 inches deep - oops!) I could have done a much better job ironing too, but I was just to excited to show you, so I put that off for later. I'd love to hear what you think. I hope to have something similar in my shop once I get all of the math figured out!
