Diaper Clutch {Tutorial}

I don't have babies in my house anymore, but I have lots of friends who do. I decided to make something baby-related because it's Spring and lots of baby showers happen in the Spring. It's been awhile since I did a baby-related post so here you go! This diaper clutch is very practical for throwing in the diaper bag or car to keep a few diapers and the travel wipes in. Just grab it and go when you don't need the whole entire diaper bag. This is perfect for the quick trips into the store or for keeping in the car or stroller for those unexpected diaper changes! I decided to make this one to match the tote bag/diaper bag I made here. {And you may see these in my etsy shop real soon.}

First, take your chosen fabric {I used leftover dropcloth from these projects} and measure one piece - 20" long x 8" wide.
Now, fold fabric longways with right sides together. So, you'll have a folded piece that is 10" long x 8" wide.
Pin sides together. Sew or serge the sides.
Turn right-side-out.
Follow directions below.

Make the strap by taking a 2.5" wide strip of fabric, folding it in half. Iron. Then, fold rough edges under 1/4" and iron. Finally, sew a straight seam down the open edge. Strap is done. Sew it as pictured above.

 You can find the freezer paper method here.

Mustache Tote Bag {Tutorial}

WARNING: Long post ahead! Long tutorial. Looks harder than it is!

We all know that mustaches are ALL.THE.RAGE. right now and have been for some time.

{Even Hubs got in on the mustache action!}

I am just loving and laughing at all the mustache printed fabrics that are available right now. So, when I came across this one I had to buy it. Actually, someone else was purchasing it and that's how I noticed it. I couldn't forget about it after walking all through the store so I went back and bought some. Then, I decided it would be the perfect fabric for a tote bag or diaper bag, library bag or any type of bag!!
Here's how to do it. It's lengthy, but I tried to put as many pictures as possible to help you through it. If you still have questions, feel free to contact me.

 

Stay tuned - More mustache-related projects ahead! You will see this bag in my etsy shop very soon.
