Not sure if I should put this question here but it really has nothing to do ith quilting. Has anyone ever made a diaper bag? What pattern did you use? I want to make one for a friend but I can't find a pattern I like. I don't care if the pattern is free just as long as I find one I like. Help please :mrgreen:

Hi Vicki,

My daughter made this pattern for her sister and it turned out great http://amingledyarn.wordpress.com/ga...ma-diaper-bag/

she also made the wipes holder (from the same site) that you can use to hold the small baby wipes container and a couple of diapers for a quick outing

Oops...I think you forgot the link. :-D

Sorry was searching to find it and it took a little longer than expected

I have a picture of it somewhere but I can't find it now

Heehee...I was just too impatient. Thanks for the link! I really like that one.

She used a corduroy for the outside and a retro polka dot print inside and she did put interfacing in the shoulder strap to give it a little more body and it looks like it came from some fancy boutique someplace.

Thanks. This is a great topic. My boyfriend's sister is going to have a baby in September and I was eventually going to ask the same question.

I have been making some really simple, quick ones for a charity that I donate to. PM me and I will give you the info.

What a great diaper bag pattern. I need to bookmark that.

Neat diaper bag pattern. I'm going to use that to make a camoflauge bag for a friend (male). He needs one so he doesn't lose "man points"

I have used one from simplicy but don't know what number it is.

I am in the process of making one from Whistle Pig Creek patterns that I got at the Golden Quilt Company in Golden, CO. I will let you know how it turns out.

Another idea I use is for the younger moms that I know, I buy pretty colorful backpacks to use for diaper bags. I used them in the 80s when my kids were small when it was not the thing to do and I got funny looks. But they were so much easier to tote around.

I made a couple and just made totes bigger than I usually would make them. Added more pockets to the inside and they were good. Gave them away to a couple of girls that needed bags, but couldn't afford the "diaper bag price". They loved them and are still using them even with the babies now being almost a year old.
