I'm a collector!

And admitting it is the first step to recovery, right?

In all seriousness. There are just some things I like to collect. Like fabric. Well, I determined this week that I wanted a new diaper bag but everything I looked at was far too expensive for my budget.
So, I found a box of fabric. Pulled out a pattern. And so, I spent the afternoon sewing a bag. Of course, the pattern I picked wasn't exactly like I envisioned so I did a bit of adapting. (Little things like putting pockets inside and adding a zipper.)
It came out pretty well, I think. It was also much cheaper than buying one. Now we'll see if I like it as well. So, here for your viewing pleasure is my "free" home-made bag.


See, pockets!

Cool--really cool. Next time you should use the overlocker and neaten the edges--you're on the right track!
