We used to carry a hard shell Simple Dimple diaper bag around, it is hardy and spacious, can fit lots of stuff inside but after 4 years of continuous using (or should I say, abuse?), it has finally gave in to wear and tear. After numerous shopping trips and scouting around for a decent mommy bag, either too kiddy looking or too pricey or too large/small, I finally decided to design one for myself that is tailor-made to fulfill my requirements.
What's my requirements? Well, the bag must be:
- TRENDY, so it does not looks like a diaper bag
- SPACIOUS, that I can put my duo's items in there
- POCKETS, yes, lots of pockets for easy storage cause I hate to have things falling out.
And I gladly declare that I passed my own requirements. :)
I choose the same light grey floral fabric used for making the cushion last week. Love the elegant feel of the prints.
The front look - it has 3 spacious pockets in front, outlined with a bright yellow piping. I added a leather bucket in the middle for a neat look.
A pair of padded & re-enforced handles. I added the coffee buttons for that classic look.
I have tried to fill up the following items into the bag (and in fact there is still room for more):
Thermos, milk bottle, 2 Bros water bottles, 2 clean diapers & changing pad, some cream & med tubes, 1 kid cutlery set, 4 sets of kids changing clothes, hankie, bib.. Its unbelievable that this bag can fit so much things in there! Now you see why I call this a bottomless bag? *wink*
Here's a picture as proof..
Test wearing time. I'm glad it did not disappoint me. *phew*
So, what does it took to produce this bag?
1 large table cloth...
3 late nights sewing...
and all these make 1 Happy Mom!
Oh, and how can I forgot to mention, my very own personal brand label.. Pea Hatch! Looking good on the inner top of the bag. :)
That's all folks, thanks for stopping by, feel free to tell me what you think of this bag.
Adios!
