Diaper Bags (or Tote Bags, Hand Bags, etc.)

This is a RAG BAG that was made to be used as a hand bag.

I fell in love with these fabrics at the store and bought some, not knowing what I would make with them yet.

Once I started getting back into sewing (something I have done since I was about 5 years old), I thought that this fabric would be awesome to use for a rag bag! 

I think that rag bags are so cute and I'm a patch/quilt lover anyhow!

What makes a rag bag's name?  All the outside seams are sewn on the outside - then snipped and washed to give it a frayed look.  I then make the inside the of the bag with pockets (or without - depending on size and specifications in the order) and it is all 'finished' nicely without frayed seams.

[This picture was taken before I had snipped and washed the bag so the seams are not as cute as the finish project actually turned out.]

I then make the closure with one large button and a button loop.

For diaper bags, I like to make them with an outside pocket on each of the sides to easily place a bottle or sippy cup.

So, if you like my Baby Rag Tag Blankets then I can also make you a matching diaper bag!

The bag in this picture measures about: 12"w x12"h x4"d.  This is also a nice size for a small diaper bag for those quick trips that you don't need to pack a lot and/or don't want to lug around a huge bag.

I can make these bags any size - it's up to you!

You pick the size, colors and/or theme and I'll make you the coolest gal around!
