| The Nappy Bag Pattern pattern available at Sewing Pattens by Mrs H |
One thing (oh, and I admit there are alot !) that I can't refuse, is the opportunity to test a new pattern by the talented designer, Samantha, of At Home With Mrs H blog.
Samantha, or Mrs H, is expecting a little baby soon, and decided to design her own diaper bag. (They call them Nappy bags, in Wales where she lives.) Since I won't be expecting any babies (that was 24 yrs ago!) , I made my Nappy bag with just a few minor changes. This will be perfect for me when I am traveling.

Susie, another wonderful bag! My Baby Lucy is still using nappies so I'd start using it as a nappy bag and then use it as a Mummy bag!
ReplyDeleteGreat bag, could be used for almost everything. I would start using it as a Nana bag (when kids come and I take them on day trips, zoo, picnic,out to eat etc). It would be great as a craft bag (with all the little pockets available. Or it could be a busy bag for my Grands. (they love it when I let them create.....Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteSamantha is lucky to have you as tester, Susie!! I know what I say!! Gorgeous and stylish bag. Your fabric choices are always so lovely! And your attention to details counts a lot! Such pretty kitty - she knows what's better!
ReplyDeleteGreat bag! I'd certainly use the pattern to make diaper bags for friends or family expecting babies. No more babies for me (my youngest is 6), but there are always others having babies. Thanks for linking to TGIFF, and for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI''d use this as an overnight bag
ReplyDeletePretty bag Susie!! I tossed my diaper bag last month and boy was that a great feeling so I would not be making a diaper bag either. I am not a bag maker but if I did make this bag i think I would make it as a camera bag. All of your bags are so professionally finished!
ReplyDeleteI am partial to large plastic zippers. Don't know why... I love the vivid colors that are so modern and girly at the same time. You are a bag pro! Can I come over for a lesson? LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat pattern! Love the bag. I would use it for traveling. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLike it! While I have left nappies long behind, I always need a camera bag, and this one looks just the right size for it (plus for the usual stuff I carry around like poop bags, spare lead andother bric-a-brac). No, seriously, bag is really nice.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a cat nappy bag. I would use it for travel.
ReplyDeleteI also would use it for travel. My cats always have to test run any bag I make! Thanks for the opportunity to win. nriddr@hurontel.on.ca
ReplyDeleteThe bag is beautiful and Whiskers looks so cute!! Well, it's a nappy bag, what else would you use it for but to nap on it :)

Beautiful pattern, fabric and bag. I'd use it for local or long-distance travel. Thank you for the opportunity. :-)
ReplyDeleteI would use it as a travel bag or project bag when I taking classes.
ReplyDeleteGreat bag, love your fabric choices - thanks for the giveaway.
