Gift for Baby Shower: Diaper and Wipes Case

My dear friend is due to have her second child (a boy) next month so I decided to make something this time around.  Using some leftover fabric from the Fabric Circles I made a while ago, I whipped up a simple diaper and wipes case topped off with a cute little snap.

The outer fabric is grey and yellow flowers with a complementary inner fabric of polka dots!  My mother-in law has a snap fastener machine, therefore I decided to use a yellow snap instead of velcro for the enclosure.

I picked up a compact box of wipes and included one diaper to give an idea of the proportions.

It fits 1-2 diapers and the wipes case comfortably.  I think this would be great for a mom's purse instead of lugging around a diaper bag which we all know can be annoying and heavy!

Hope you enjoy:)

Fabric Circles are Complete

Back in March, I completed a project for DIY wall art, using wooden circle hoops and fabric.  This was such a simple and fun project.  I ended up hanging these above our bed and plan on doing at least one more set somewhere in our house.

Grocery Bag Holder

I was able to devote some of our honeymoon time to sewing, and was so excited to find a great pattern for a grocery bag holder.  Since July 4th is tomorrow, I decided to go with a patriotic theme for this piece.

I modified the original template and quilted 3 18" x 18" squares of fabric, the middle piece being batting.  I then took two strips of red and white starred fabric for the top and bottom, both of which are wrapped around elastic pieces.  I then completed the look with some red bias tape for the loop hanger.

I love how the fabrics work together, and more importantly, I LOVE the functionality of this piece.  Now we don't have to go fishing for plastic grocery bags anymore!
