This is my first tutorial, so I hope everyone understands it. I took lots of pics...lol.

cut 2 fabrics at 12x8, 2 at 9.5x8, and one 3x14
[ATTACH=CONFIG]106260[/ATTACH]

this is going to be the handle
[ATTACH=CONFIG]106273[/ATTACH]

fold it in half and sew along the edge
[ATTACH=CONFIG]106274[/ATTACH]

turn it back right side out and iron flat. Sew along each side for it to keep it's shape.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]106443[/ATTACH]

sew a top and a bottom together with the zipper
[ATTACH=CONFIG]106447[/ATTACH]

being sewn together
[ATTACH=CONFIG]106514[/ATTACH]

flip the zipper back over and sew along the edge
[ATTACH=CONFIG]106676[/ATTACH]

lay it on the other fabric you have cut out and sew along it
[ATTACH=CONFIG]106774[/ATTACH]

on the side that is longer, pin the strap(folded in half)right above the zipper
[ATTACH=CONFIG]106781[/ATTACH]

I sew over the handle and zipper at least 2 times for stability
[ATTACH=CONFIG]106813[/ATTACH]

turn right side out and your done...I hope you enjoy this tute and show me when you guys make some!!! :)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]106814[/ATTACH]

after you sew it, you flip it over and sew along the zipper just like the other side
[ATTACH=CONFIG]106950[/ATTACH]

fold fabric in half
[ATTACH=CONFIG]106958[/ATTACH]

at this step make sure the zipper in in so after you sew it, you can open it
[ATTACH=CONFIG]106969[/ATTACH]

finish sewing on the three sides that are open
[ATTACH=CONFIG]107493[/ATTACH]

after it is sewn, I clip off the corners so it looks nice when it's turned
[ATTACH=CONFIG]107579[/ATTACH]

the zipper was way longer than what I needed. I'm not sure how long it was, I never measured it. All I needed to know was that it was longer than my project I was making. (plus...I only had 2 zippers left and one was two inches to short)

Yes, it really could be used for anything. I just made it the size to fit the large diapers and a case.

Wow so nice ...need to make these for my daughters to keep in the car...thank you

Deb53 10-25-2010 10:06 AM
Oh thanks for sharing. I need to make one for my daughter in waterproof fabric (there's a name for it) so wet diapers can be carried home, or wet/messy clothes.
She has two little ones, 18 and 5 months old.

So thank you for the tutorial and you did a great job!

That is awesome. Thanks for sharing your pictures. Lol, I guess I'm not the only one that can't stop making them. I ran out of zippers and ordered a bunch more so I can keep going....lol.

great ideas - I'm sure all of us need a good idea for showers or that special little gift for someone. Thanks

Thank you for this tute. I have a one cousin and my very close friend's two daughters have had a baby within the last 3 months! I am planning on making them all quilts for christmas, but now I can make these too. A special little bonus that is so easy to make!

They are very easy to make. The little extras are nice to go with it. You can make it out of the same fabrics in the quilts so they match.
My zippers showed up today(I ran out making these)so I get to make more now. I got enough zippers to last a while...lol.

love it...

so FUN!!!
As I was looking at your pictures, I was thinking - - "she sure handles that zipper like she was born to it!"
Zippers are supposed to be scarey, correct???
you were just so calm ....
I do have one question, and I think I read through the tutorial a couple of times, and may have missed it:

you used two fabrics, cut, and you gave the sizes . .. one is the "left" side and one is the "right" size ...
Did I miss the part about putting the fabrics wrong sides together before sewing the zipper in?

I really appreciate this tutorial. As others have observed, it is a fun project, and looks easy enough (wherever did I put those zippers?) .... you made it look so easy. Thank you for sharing <wave>

I didn't mention it in there, but your right. They are supposed to be wrong sides together. I can see it in the pic, but not sure if anyone else can. :)

Thank you for the great tutorial! I have several baby showers to go to and wanted something cute, yet useful, this was perfect. I made extra for later, as they went together so nicely! Thank you for sharing, I truly appreciate this cute pattern and instructions. Sarah
