Need a BIG diaper bag pattern  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I need a pattern for a big diaper bag. I have 2 in diapers right now and am pg w/ #3. DS *should* be PLed by the time this babe is due, but I'm still going to need to carry extra clothes for him, JIK. I also like to be prepared, so I tend to over pack. Right now, each toddler gets 6 FBs in the bag (12 dipes total), a change of clothes for each, including socks, a changing pad, at least 12 wipes in a small wetbag, a wetbag for the dirty dipes, wallet, cell, keys, a couple small toys, and 2 sippy cups.
I'm tired of my current bag, not to mention, it's starting to rip in some places, and I just don't *like* it. It's all black and I need some color. I have 2 FABULOUS fabrics picked out, a cream/ violet toile and a violet corduroy that matched perfectly. I just don't know what kind of bag to make : I was leaning towards a tote style so I could do the cord on the bottom b/c it'll wear better w/ the toile as the upper, but I just don't know.
HELP!!

The only diaper bag I've made is the AB Nappy Bag. I didn't think it was very roomy and I didn't like how it always seemed in the way on my shoulder. I don't think you would ever be able to fit 12 diapers in it, so I wouldn't recommend you make that one. My favorite (although it was purchased) was a backpack style with the changing pad in the bottom. It had side and front pockets as well as pockets on the inside. Not much help for what TO make, just what NOT TO make.

I found a diaper bag pattern on www.freepatterns.com it is the dapper diaper bag. It is very big! I love it! It holds several bulky cloth diapers with all the over stuff we have to carry! It has an outer pocket and an inner pocket. I also added a couple elastic straps inside for cups. Good luck!
