My TLG (diaper) Bag

Our church nursery requires everything be labeled so it sounded like a good excuse to make a custom embroidered diaper bag to me! This is the TLG bag from the sew forum. I did this entirely from stash. It could have used some stiffer interfacing but it will be light duty so I'm not too worried about it.

The pink linen and the batik are both from the EFQ co-ops last year. The lining is a yellow broadcloth from my old quilting stash. Embroidery is one of the built in fonts on my Innovis 1500D

You can't see it in the pix but there is a decorative running heart stitch on the top and the two horizontal cross peices. I used a varigated pink thread that almost disappears. My intent was for it to be really subtle and the truth is I wanted to stabilize the SA on the linen since they were ravelly without dragging out the serger. It worked!!

OH and I found that waistband stabilzer works great for straps like this!!






View inside with a couple of diapers & wipes in one pocket and the wet bag in place. I used yellow PUL to do the wetbag with a pink zipper and pink touchtape. The pocket I sorta guessed at since I had no directions for an elastic top pocket. I sewed the hook tape on the bag lining to hold the detachable wet bag. I'm not doing a changing pad cause they won't need it in the nursery.
