Description

I made this for myself. I am pregnant and that is the main reason I haven’t posted anything for some time. Been preoccupied with other things :) Now, as the due date is approaching and we started seriously preparing for the new family member, I decided that I will need a spacious bag for baby’s stuff as well as mine. We didn’t get it in the stroller combination we bought. Looking around I could’t find any bags that were same colours as the stroller and why would I pay at least 50 euros for a bag that is small and doesn’t quite match our stroller, or my needs in a stroller bag. So, I decided I was capable enough of making it myself. Of course I have pretensions that are larger than my knowledge but I will be stubborn.
This bag is part recycled, partly made from bought fabric. No pattern, I worked from my imagination. The dark blue is from an old, never worn (got it, never liked it) skirt, and I inserted sheets of recycled plastic I made following this tutorial http://www.craftpassion.com/2009/04/recycle-your-grocery-plastic-bag.html
It took me quite a long time to finish it and I am very pleased with how it perfectly matches the stroller colours, but am unhappy how flimsy it came out. It has 4 layers ! ( the face, the plastic interfacing, the iron on interfacing and the lining) and it still isn’t firm!

    Odlična ti je torba. Izgleda kao da je u kompletu sa kolicima… i ne brini kad je napuniš stvarima izgledaće taman kao treba, veruj mi (ja se porodila pre skoro 8 meseci i torba mi je uvek prepuna)…čestitam na prinovi ako si se već porodila, a ako još nisi srećno. I ja sam sad u fazonu šivenja dečijih stvarčica… sad pravim platnene pelenice, koje planiram i da prodajem… inače ako nisi išla u školicu u DM-u imaš specijalan besplatni paket pelenica za bebe i vidi sajt http://www.darljubavi.com/ tamo imaš isto lep paket a plaćaš samo dostavu. Meni su naplatili 200 din, ali sama knjiga vredi tolko. pozdrav

      Hvala! Porodila sam se pre 6 nedelja, i jedva cekam lepo vreme da krenemo u setnje i da upotrebim torbu, naravno :) Za ovo o paketima nisam znala. Krenula sam u skolicu, al bebac je pozurio, pa sam bila samo par puta. Hvala ti jos jednom, sve najbolje i tebi i tvom cedu :)

    I think you did a fantastic job on this bag! It matches the stroller perfectly. I know what you mean about using so many layers and still not getting the structure you want but it should work out great. And it looks like it will hold a lot of stuff with room to spare. Can’t wait to see the baby clothes and such that you will be making in the near future! Happy Sewing!

      Thank you ! I am planing on sewing more stuff for the baby and I think I will start with a diaper changing mat- the one you posted will be a good inspiration :)

      Can’t wait to see it!!! Have fun with it, you can even use PUL to make it waterproof, or terry would make it so soft on the baby’s bum…lol. Again, Congrats!
