I found a problem on one of the straps, so I had to resew that, but other than that. Voila, I present my newest diaper bag/purse: http://new.photos.yahoo.com/pucktricks6802/album/576460762400424508/photo/294928804364615024/0 I made it using basically the same pattern for my last bag, but with a few adaptations, mainly the inside pockets. I wore my last one into the ground. It's amazing how much a bag gets destroyed when you're also using it as a diaper bag for 3 kids. Two of whom have discovered that they can get into it if they try hard enough. Well, I'll hopefully post pictures of their wedding outfits soon, that's the other project I've been working on, that and Wendy's outfit in the wedding. It's quite amusing the WHOLE family is in it. I'm a bridesmaid, Jeff's a groomsman, the boys are ring bearers, and Wendy is the flower girl (she's being carried down the aisle by the assistant flower girl). I just have buttons left to sew on those projects. Ticia |

Ticia - do I understand you to mean that you have three kids of an age to need a diaper bag. How on earth do you have time to sew at all? It's a really cute and well made bag and the pattern would work for all kinds of other bags. What pattern did you use? Look forward to seeing the wedding outfits. Pauline

My boys are two, and quite active, and my daughter is 5 months. I sew when they nap, or when I decide they're going to have "alone time," which means they play in their room. The pattern is Simplicity 5320. It's designed to be used with fat quarters, but I've always done it with various scraps leftover from other projects. This particular time, I had a bunch of material that I had bought with plans for making curtains and or various other projects which I ended up deciding not to do, but still loved the fabric. This is the third bag I've made from this pattern, and I love it more every time I do. Ticia |

Cute bag Ticia. I enjoyed looking at all of your photos. Now, can't wait to see the wedding outfits. Your children are adorable and I can tell that Wendy's big brothers are the doting type. Marty

Wendy's big brothers are the doting type. Marty Yeah, but sometimes it's the dangerous type of doting. The type where they run up and very enthusiasticaly say "BABY!" and then "gently pat her on her _________," only the gently is more like with as much force as I can muster. But, they do also like to "hold" her, which means they sit on the floor and can hold her and when they get bored they just push her over. Then she smiles at them and they pat her again. It's really very cute. Ticia
