New Tote Bag....
2 Attachment(s)
Someone tell me this doesn't look like a diaper bag! (Lie if you have to...)
I made so many mistakes on this and started it out using a vinyl that was way too light...I feel like I made it twice. It turned out well, but then someone made the above comment and I can't un-see it! I made it specifically to be my "personal bag" on the flight to Portugal this summer, as it fits within the measurements. It has the same pockets inside that are on the back and feet on the bottom. I learned how to do the over lay pockets and the twist lock, which wasn't hard at all and my good, old Janome powered through all that vinyl, fabric and interfacing like butter! Watson |
Wow! Very nice. It looks designer to me and I'm telling the truth.
|
That is very nice, and I love the fabric, but I do not think it looks like a diaper bag. Thank you for sharing
|
Very high-end looking.
As far as looking like a diaper bag - it does not - but I think some diaper bags look very useful. |
I love your fabric choices. I love it and looked at pics before reading... diaper bag never entered my mind!
|
No, it does not look like a diaper bag. I think it looks so nice.
|
Had I seen the pic before reading the post, I would have thought "designer tote".
It doesn't resemble any diaper bag I've ever seen. Kudos for your perseverance; it turned out great. Bon voyage! |
I don't think it looks at all like a diaper bag. It looks amazing. It definitely looks like a high end bag. You did great work and I love your fabrics.
|
Absolutely does NOT look like a diaper bag! This is a high end beautiful tote that is beautifully done! Loveeeeeee your fabric choices.
|
I would so buy this bag! Beautifully crafted…
|
I've never seen a diaper bag that beautiful before. I absolutely love that & think it will be fantastic for your Portugal trip. I love it!
|
Well i am impressed. That looks like a lot of work and talent. And no, I never once thought diaper bag!!!!
|
I love the bag and it should be perfect for a carry-on as well as a fashion statement. All of the diaper bags I have seen have zippered pockets everywhere.
|
Lovely bag!

new tote bag
I love the look of this stylish bag. IS there a pattern or is this your own design?
|
It doesn't look like a diaper bag to me. Looks very nice.
|
Looks like a tote I wish I had for my trips with Mom. I have never seen a diaper bag like that but I think diaper bags would make great totes.
|
railroad...it's the Mimosa Tote by Blue Calla Designs. It was not a difficult sew, although it took me forever to prepare because I kept messing up.

I have this pattern, I make a lot of bags, and while I haven't made this one, I think it is more stylish than a diaper bag. My only concern would be that it doesn't zipper closed....
Just use it, know it's unique.. Often when I travel with one of my custom bags I get lots of compliments. I would advise spraying it with Scotchguard to protect it from having dirt stick to it requiring frequent washing.... |
Maybe the person that made that remark was hoping you would give it to her. Lol. Very high end and will look real good on your arm in Portugal or any where else. I use to be called purse lady and I know my purses and this one is a winner.
|
That’s one special bag. It does not look at all like a diaper bag
|
Doesn’t look like a diaper bag to me. Wonderful job, I’d be proud to take it anywhere
|
Diaper bag, no! Well made and classy, yes.
|
Thanks, Elaine....I will spray with ScotchGuard. I never thought of that.
I'm not worried about the zipper part because this will be for the plane, to carry all the stuff that I need to get to during the trip, not anything real valuable. (Sweater, book, snacks, neck pillow etc...) I will have a tiny purse with valuables tucked away. Watson |
That is way more sophisticated than a diaper bag!!!
|
Beautiful bag! Is there a pattern available for this?
|
I love it and would use it to travel too.
|
No lie...doesn't look like a diaper bag to me. Very nice!
|
It doesn't look like a diaper bag to me at all !
I can't make bags period. I admire you and all the others who make such wonderful ones. I don't have the patience or skill so I've given up :) It looks great! |
Looks like a diaper bag?-Definitely not.
|
Ditto to all the above. I especially liked the handle design.
|
My first thought was what a beautiful tote. I make purses and totes and was once called the purse lady. Enjoy your trip and your tote.
Whomever made that remark may be jealous, because you did so well and they can’t even sew. Don’t let one unpleasant remark spoil your use. Have fun on your trip and tell us all about it when you return.-Toogie |
I think it's classy and will be wonderful for your trip! It does not look like a diaper bag.
|
I think it turned out beautiful, love the colors! I don't think it looks like a diaper bag at all, even back when my kids were small. Nowdays all the young mothers I see have a backpack looking diaper bag.
|
this is the link to the pattern....i think!
The Mimosa Market Tote - PDF Sewing Pattern – Blue Calla Patterns |
No way does your stylish tote bag resemble a diaper bag! All the custom features make it too chic.
Enjoy using it on your trip ! |
Sure doesn't look like any diaper bag that I ever used. Looks much more up-scale than that!

It most certainly does NOT look like a diaper bag, don’t know why someone would say that?!? I absolutely love the turquoise fabric it’s beautiful. I would love to know if you designed this handbag or what pattern you used. I love making handbags.
|
I love your bag; not at all diaper bag style! You did a fantastic job, and it will certainly serve you well on your upcoming trip! Have fun!
