Made my diaper bag/backpack  

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
I just love Chinese brocade, and I love the Petunia Picklebottom diaper bags, but not for $158!

So I made my own:

I told DH he will never lose me in a crowd with this color!

That is so cute! Nice work!!

And I completely agree, those Picklebottom bags are cute but I always choke on the price tag.

Thats really nice looking! Great job. I loved my homemade diaper bag- in fact I use it still to cart stuff around.

I told DH that if anyone wants me to make one for them, I'm charging double what Petunia Picklebottoms cost! That brocade is so luscious, but it's a pain to work with, with all the fraying and slippery-ness and pink threads everywhere.

I would make and sell them, though. I would just need lots and lots of time.

CUTE! I made a brocade diaper bag a few years ago for DS2 and people ask me all the time if I make them for sale. I know I could make a ton of $$ doing them, but MAN it was a pain in the rear to sew!! Mine is a messenger bag, and pretty big and holding that brocade straight and all the fraying drove me nuts. They are so pretty, though
