Have you tried eBay or Craftsy??? You can always add pockets to any interior of a pattern. I never have made any bags except for the type used to being grocery home. Good Luck !!

What about the Professional Tote - seen here ?

Knitette,
That is the perfect one. Thank you so Much |
I get most of my bag patterns from these two sites.
http://www.anniescatalog.com/ http://www.e-patternscentral.com/list.html?cat_id=8 I have a tip for your DGDIL, which I got from my DD -- give every child who can walk their own backpack. Each child carries his own stuff, lessening the burden for mom. Those in diapers can carry a small packet of wipes and a couple diapers,, those who are older can carry toys, books, etc. Each child carries his/her own snacks/cup. |
Good luck and congrats on the new ggbaby. |

I've made the at least 4 of the Professional Totes and my 11 year old granddaughter made one (hers got a blue ribbon, best of class and best of show at the fair--it was her first bag. pictures are posted on this board)-- if you just follow each step the instructions in order you will do just fine. The instructions are lengthy but are very detailed. I leave out the center pocket to give myself more room inside. You will be proud of yourself when you are done.

I have used the messenger bag pattern for a diaper bag. There are several free online. I make it about 15" wide and 12" high. I make the outside side pockets a little wider than the side of the bag, then add elastic to the top. Good for carrying bottles. Put the large outside pocket on both the front and back. Same pockets on the inside as the outside. It was well used and I have had requests for more of the same. Google "School time messenger bag". I made it larger and made the strap adjustable.
