Zippers! Bags! Pouches!

 

I still do not love zippers. 

 

However, I no longer fear them.  

 

Last week BoyChild said "you know Mom, some pockets in the diaper bag sure would've been nice.  Do you know how hard it is to find a paci in the bottom of that big bag?"

 

When I made their diaper bag several weeks (months?) ago, I knew nothing about pockets, zippers, or linings. 

 

I have since made bags with linings, and pockets, but not zippers. 

 

So yesterday I sucked it up, looked up several tutorials, and gave it a go.

 

The result:

 

Quilted, lined bag

 



With a patch pocket on front

I even made a zipper pouch (that was much easier than the zippers on the inside pockets!)

 

Two inside zipper pockets, and a small paci-pocket

 

Another view of the zipper pouch

 And the back side

 

 

It has very long handles.  BoyChild and DIL are both very tall.

 

I hope they like it!

 

Miss Sadie had her two week checkup today (she was actually two weeks old Friday) and she has gained a pound and grown an inch and a quarter!  She's gonna be tall like her Momma and Daddy!
