Here it is then, my tutorial for the baby bag as promised. It definately felt like quite a big project to condense into 15 pictures, so please excuse me if I've missed out some little details but I'm hoping you'll ask if you have any questions or anything isn't clear.
What you will need
44" x 60" Outer Fabric - Strong, hardwearing fabric such as cotton duck or canvas
44" x 60" Lining - Any lining fabric of your choice22" x 37" Pocket Fabric - accent fabric in good quality cotton
Elastic for the top of the pockets (35cm x 3 and 5cm x 3)2m of 40mm webbing
1 x 40mm bag slide
1 x 40mm rectangle ring
Buttons or Velcro (as closure so depends on your preference)
Measure out on the wrong side of your fabric a shape as below (at 29" my bag was quite wide, I would be tempted to make it approx 25" wide)
Cut out 6 pockets from your accent fabric:
- 3 x 11" x 8" - to make smaller side panel pockets
- 3 x 11" x 29" - to make the long pockets on the side of the bag
Next step is to create your boxed corners on the smaller (end panel) pockets
Fix your pockets to the outer of the bag. The outer will have pockets on all 4 sides (inner will only have 2 pockets)
Create a top flap for the bag, I made mine 29" wide x 10" deep, long enough to enclose within the bag, cover over the 4" depth and close over the front of the bag
Phew, that was a long one, I hope it all makes sense but please contact me if you have any questions or anything is wrong in order that I can either provide more information or correct my notes!
Finally, thanks for reading!
