My first grandbaby is due in December and I am making all sorts of things.

This diaper bag is HUGE! We could just put the baby in it…

There are two padded outside pockets, snap closure, two inside pockets, and an inside D ring where you can attach your keys or the wetbag. That wetbag isn’t small, it just looks small inside the bag…

The lovely celestial fabric was given to me by @AIMR and the PUL for the wetbag was part of the collection I received from @AIMR and @thanate The yellow fabric I have had in my stash forever and even tried giving away for a bit. The blue webbing I found at my local quilt shop. I will come back and copy paste that story here…

This is so cute! I’ve never used a diaper bag, but this seems to have lots of thoughtful details!

Babies need so much stuff when they are little. That bag is going to be hauling a lot! Great job in figuring out the wet bag. I hate it when pattern pieces are missing, but I knew you would figure it out!

Your webbing story is great!

Thank you!

I had a diaper bag that I made for myself that had an attached changing pad. At some point the velcro gave out and that changing pad would just hang off the side. I ended up pinning it with a diaper pin to keep it in place and then was annoyed that it made using the bag beyond the baby years kinda weird. So I set out to make a more versatile bag for my daughter. Hopefully it gets many years of use beyond the baby years…

Thank you!

I ran into problems when I realized I didn’t think out my construction process with the wetbag, but a little creative thinking and I got it sorted out. I also used a waterproof zipper but realized after I was committed that it was made for keeping water OUT not IN. It’s one I had from making waterproof bike bags. But, it’s a great zipper and my daughter may never know unless I tell her.

Such a cute bag! Your daughter will love that it’s one of a kind, and isn’t getting lost in a sea of black or beige.

Love this! It’s bright and fun and doesn’t scream “BABY!!!” when you look at it. I bet she will use it all the time!

I was so excited for my youngest (the sib closest in age was 10!) that I made my own diaper bag- Mary Engelbreit fabric, the classic black with cherries and cute cottages and the like. I don’t have it anymore but I wish I did.
