This is a bag that I made for a friend of mine in Switzerland. It has taken me forever to finish as I kept messing up on the straps joining bag part and still didn't get it quite right, but it's better. This is the same material I made Jodi's bag from, and I just love the warm tones in here.

This is my first bag made for someone I don't know. Intimidating! She seems very sweet, though, and I can't wait to meet her and give her this bag. I hope she likes it!


It's not actually crooked, I just layed it out funny. I can sew, but not take pictures apparently!

Side cell phone pocket...or whatever else you need easy access to.

Four inside elasticized pockets...two on each side (good bottle or sippy cup size) and two on the inside, side-by-side. Hope that makes sense!

Diaper clutch. I stole that name from somewhere (
http://www.small-potatoes.com/) and the design from somewhere else (
http://www.diapeesandwipees.com/). Is that wrong? Maybe next time I'll modify it slightly so it's not exactly the same. So, there's my first "for sale" bag! It's lined with interfacing and is quite sturdy. I feel like each bag I make is my new favorite...I used an ironing trick I learned from my sewing friend, Carla, and it really helped things look crisper and more even. Thanks Carla!
And finally, as promised, pictures of the fabric I've bought. If you're interested in a bag, take a look at the fabric and pick what you'd like! And I have more fabric from the above bag if that interests anyone as well.

I hate loud leaves. I think you made a good choice with the quiet leaves.
Cyndy will love it!
great job Corinna, and I agree quiet leaves are the best choice!
corinna, I love the pink and grey (Is it those colours) bag with the circle designs on it. The style of the bag is great - if you just wanna do mine like that, I would be happy!! And one of these days I'll get you that fabric.
