I have some of the best customers a girl could ask for, but I have one in particular that I just love. I have known her for many years; we went to high school together and were on the basketball team together. (She played while I kept the bench warm.) She is always so sweet and always calls me with an order whenever she needs a gift. I would have to say that she is my most valuable customer so when she calls, e-mails, or texts me and asks me to make something, I normally jump on it. (Except for one time, but I think she forgave me for that.) She requested two diaper bags for some friends of hers. She is always very good at giving me the colors that she wants and what she wants on them. Believe me, as a "designer", and I use that term loosely, the more info I have the better. I like being able to create with whatever comes out of my head but if you tell me, "I want a diaper bag and I don't care what you make it out of or what colors you use" that stresses me out. I am left wondering if you will like what I chose or if you will hate it and run for the hills.
Pink and brown were the colors for the girl bag. I have to say, I could NOT find the fabric that I really wanted to use on this bag. I searched through all of my stash and just couldn't find it, so at midnight I gave up and went with option B. I think it turned out very cute!
The boy bag was a little more specific, as in, here is a picture of the bedding they are using, can you match it? And match it I did. I was so excited to find this fabric at JoAnn's! I haven't seen this color combo before so I had to search for it but I think it turned out very cute.

These bags measure approximately 11X12 and have about a 23" handles. They have two pockets on the front and two pockets on the inside. Can be monogrammed/appliqued on the front, back, or both.
I call it the "Gracie" bag because I made my first one for my niece. Although, now that I think about it I patterned it after one my mom made for me so maybe I should call it the "Debbie" bag or the "Jaxon" bag...

ReplyDeleteYou are TOO sweet. I'm just so thankful that we live in the same town now so that I don't have to pay shipping :-) I LOVE both of these bags, but Taylor's is my favorite. The material you found is just perfect! Thanks again!
