I once...
accidently made coffee in my iron.

I love...

Someday I hope to...

make my entire wardrobe.
design a fabric line.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone! I do not have a pattern currently available for this bag. I am currently designing a new diaper bag that I hope to have a pattern available for! You can see sketches for the possible designs on my blog! The closure I used is a magnetic clasp on the inside of the bag. I added lots of inner pockets for baby neccessities!

Making totes is alot of fun, but sometimes very time consuming! Every part of this tote is quilted and that involved alot of time and effort. If you're just starting out making totes, I'd work with a pattern at first. Amy Butler has some really fun, simple tote patterns. Once you've made a few and you get the basics down, you can start designing and creating your own patterns!
