I finally got all of the materials gathered and set to work on Tammy's diaper bag. A girlfriend of mine from college is having a baby soon. She asked me if i would make her a diaper bag several months ago. I asked her when she needed it and she just said "oh sometime before the baby comes". I'm not sure if it is because i didn't have an urgent deadline or what but I definitely procrastinated getting started. Then when I went to buy the fabric, one of them was back-ordered. But today I finally put in some hours to get it done.
I gathered all of my materials, got out the instructions and carefully started cutting. Everything was going well except...one of my fabrics ended up too short! Argh! And it was one of the fabrics that I have to order online (Optic Blossom in Linen by Amy Butler, super cute fabric...check it out). So I cut all the rest of the pieces and started working on the parts of the bag that I had material for. I only need one 4"x13" strip of fabric so hopefully it will come soon.
I ended up getting the entire exterior of the bag done, pockets and all! Yay!

The white area you can see at the top is where the bag is still unfinished. I will add a yellow interior with elastic pockets and a divider. I'll also attach the straps at that time. Then add a clasp and the bag will be done. Below are the interior pieces cut and pressed, waiting to be sewn.
