LB

I finally got around to doing a little sewing (I still have several things in process).  This is my version of a diaper tote.  Take it out when you don't want to have to haul the whole diaper bag but able to keep the diaper, wipes, and changing pad all together.  I can't claim it as my idea but I've tried to make some adjustments to make it my own.
This one I call LB.
I couldn't resist.  The mommy's name started with "L," the baby's name started with "B," and those are my initials.

Thank goodness for pinterest so that I can better stalk people to make something that is just for them.  It's my favorite part of making things.  This happen to be my sister-in-law, who is stylish, chic, LOVES color, fun, likes homemade things, and now I know has a things for flowers.  I knew exactly what I wanted to do the moment I saw the fabric.  This was going to be easy.




I should know by now to NEVER say "this will be easy."  In my mind I know exactly how I want things and actually doing it is ALWAYS a different story.  Chevron is a beast.  Trying to line the pattern up and making sure the pattern was straight added more time than I had anticipated.  However, this was still a very simple and quick project.
I'm still thrilled with how it turned out and hope that Linda enjoys it. 
I feel I am slowly getting better at my sewing skills.
