Tutorial: Diaper bag with classic purse styling

Kirstin at Kojo Designs shares a tutorial showing how to make a Coach-inspired diaper bag. She made it for her sister, who wanted a diaper bag that had classic styling and looked more like a purse, but still had all the pockets and functionality of a diaper bag. I think this bag fits the bill quite nicely! Go to Kojo Designs for her tutorial.

Diaper bags are like the “tricks of the trade” kit. If you have a baby, you can not leave home without it. Choosing a diaper bag can be quite complex as you need to select one that meets all your individual needs. My best advice about sewing your own Nappy or diaper bag is POCKETS! and lot’s of them, they can be on the outside or the inside it doesn’t matter.
