I just made my first diaper bag and was trying to think of something to put in the bottom for more support! I love your idea of the plastic canvas! I also agree with some of the others about the fabric choices - the young moms seems to like more "designer" fabric than baby fabric, so they look more like a tote bag or purse than a diaper bag.
