Finally finished the diaper bag... but it still needs work. I started it before Oscar was born and finished it a few weeks ago.
I used a pattern from
Amy Butler's Little Stitches For Little Ones.
I ended up changing the pattern to have a flap closure, with a leather pouch for me to keep my stuff separate. The interior fabric is cotton and oil cloth for the exterior. I thought the oil cloth would hold up well with wear and tear... besides being water resistant. Unfortunately, after only a few weeks of use the oil cloth doesn't seem to be cutting it. It has torn at the corners and where the strap attaches. So, I am going to re-make the exterior with a canvas or something heavy like that.
But I am really happy with the interior... so I will re-use it. Will update with more pics once I re-work it.
