Fixing things up

Fixing up the diaper bags. And have a few pictures.

With the edging fixed and far less fraying.

The flap was removed from the second one. Forgot a lot of important parts in my rush to get things done.

And a first look at the second bag.

Done! Well, almost....

It is done, minus a few very small things that I'm going to sew by hand, just for ease.

The outside.

Front pocket, with flap showing.

Unsnapable strap, for easy removal

Inside, with pocket.

Also adjustable.

And my bag blooper- Not so pro-tip! When adding a snap, make sure you have the pocket right side up, or stuff will just fall out of it!

Now, just have to fix some fraying hand sew the few things that need fixing and it's on to the next bag. Hopefully armed with what I learned, this will be faster with less grief!

Even closer to done!

Worked on what I thought would be the hardest part. The heavy duty snaps!
I know, they weren't listed in my materials. I skipped using a few things and switched things around. For the lack of being able to find an adjustable slide (that I wouldn't have to order online) I opted for heavy duty snaps!

You'll see how it all comes together hopefully by tomorrow, because all that's left is the closer for the flap and to sew it all together!
I've got some poor lighting in this place so if it's not fiarly light out, it can be hard to work.
Here are a few more pictures.

The lining, the interface is showing for the moment, this is it all zipped up.

The inside with the inner pocket showing.

And! Thank goodness for hello kitty band-aids! The straight pins got me and the exacto knife I used to make holes for the snaps.

Nearly done

I have been working on the bag!
I have a few in progress pictures that I'll post up with the finished bag.
I was sick for a week in there so I've been a bit behind. Sewing just didn't seem like a fun activity when I was feeling like my head and sinuses might implode at any time.
Working out the strap with buttons as I type, well I will be as soon I finish typing this.
Went to jo-ann today with a trusty 40% off coupon and got two more yards of natural canvas ($10.99 a yard, yikes!) for $14and some change thanks to the coupon. I am loving those coupons! So as soon as I finish this bag it's straight into the second one.
I'm against the clock now. Getting sick was not in the plan and put me really far behind!

Getting things together

I was a bit delayed because of my lack of interfacing. I should know better than to start a project without having all I need. I am teaching myself as I go, so I'll use that as my excuse.

I've finally gotten all my pieces cut, minus the interfacing. That's the next step. Once I get that together, I can pin the lining and get that sewn together.
