my diaper bag.

{my crocheted diaper bag}

One of the first sewing projects after our little girl came, was out of necessity!

I needed a diaper bag that could function as a purse, diaper holder, and 3 kiddo cup holder.

I knew it needed to be cute, so I could carry it every where!  I cannot take credit for the inspiration... it came from a dear friend and so my crocheted diaper bag was born.

I used on old crochet table cloth to create the outer shell and detail for the straps.  And just fabric scraps for the main body, pockets, and straps of the purse.  At first I was a little scared to cut the table cloth, because I thought it might unravel.  But it did great and has continued to hold up after 2 months of use already!  I also used the detailed edges of the table cloth for a little detail on the straps of the purse... it was already so pretty.

As I was sewing I was thinking about the sweet older lady who made this table cloth forever ago and never imagined it would be used for a diaper bag for a precious little girl :)  I love flea markets!
