Laminated Nappy Bag

Amy Butler’s Nappy Bag pattern is a favorite among moms. It has plenty of pockets for toys, bottles, and of course nappies. Everyone’s favorite feature is the cute cell phone pocket on the shoulder strap!

We’ve made ours using Amy’s Laminated Cotton fabric for the exterior and her Home Dec Solids for the interior. Using the heavier fabrics eliminates the need for interfacing, making this bag come together more quickly. Moms know that inevitably their bags end up on the floor or in the grass. The laminated fabric makes it easier to keep your bag looking fresh and clean. Of course, Amy’s gorgeous print makes it stylish and fun!

New designs from Alexander Henry have arrived! I have long been a fan of this fabric company, and I am so excited to have them in the shop. I chose prints that I thought would be great for kids, but not so child-like that grownups with a whimsical nature couldn’t use them as well!

I’d love to see some Bedtime Story Pajamas, for a boy or girl, in the little elephant print. Crib bedding using the alphabet & car fabrics would be just darling! Any of these would be so much fun to use in our Quick Start Quilting class, where we make a small quilt suitable for a child’s playmat.

Personally, I would make a skirt from that lovely giant polka dot, and make a hem facing of little elephants. What would you make?
