Diaper Bag Replacement Purse

Don't you hate it when you clean so well that you can't find anything you need? Well I think I did that. I can't find the pattern I made for this purse anywhere. It was just a piece of tissue paper so it might have accidentally been tossed. It's so frustrating. Well I created it, so I can probably create it again when I need it. My mind is already onto a new pattern, so I won't be recreating it any time soon. I will show off the finished product.


My new purse turned out really well. Some women go shopping for clothes or purses when they need a little pick-me-up, and I go fabric shopping instead. I stayed up really late the night I got my fabric, first I was just watching White Collar (my new favorite addiction!) while cutting out the pattern. Then I just had to stay up a bit longer to sew it all together. I was going to add on to it, but I think it is good the way it is!

I designed this with the features I liked from my diaper bag, but made it much cuter. It has a little less space than the diaper bag, but I can still fit a ton in there!

The next time I will be sure to put a stabilizer in the strap though. As you can see in the pictures it tends to fold up and crinkle. It could also use a top stitch around the opening, but when you have stuff in it, it doesn't really need it. Hope this gets you excited for someday when I create a tutorial, thanks for checking it out!

Love how it turned out! Way cuter than so many of the diaper bags from stores! Love all the space too!
