Casey gave me a sewing machine for Christmas last year and it has been the best present ever! I use it so much! I asked for a sewing machine because it has been a goal of mine since Carly was born to teach myself how to sew well. I’d known all the basics for a long time but I had never made anything that I wanted to actually use.
Lately I’ve been learning how to sew new things that I’ve always been too afraid to sew. I realized that I’d always be making blankets and p.j. pants if I didn’t branch out… So I saw a diaper bag tutorial link on my friend Karen’s blog and made this:
Back of bag, with a zippered pocket.
Front pockets
Inside pockets
I am so proud of myself! I learned how to make something that is cute and I’ll actually use! It was a lot of fun to make, and I think I did a pretty good job considering that I’d never sewn with interfacing, or sewn gusseted corners. Now I’m excited to learn how to sew more things!
