Diaper Bag

While pregnant I stumbled upon a diaper bag like no other.  It wasn't pretty or chick, but I thought it was fantastic.  It is made from recycled truck canvases, with probably some other fabric added because I can't imagine a truck having bright colored flowers anywhere on it (unless it was for Starbright or Strawberry Shortcake).

I couldn't get a hold of any truck canvas, but I have a lot of fabric around the house that I could use.  I am not great at the sewing machine, yet, but wanted to try to make a diaper bag with all different fabrics.  I started the base of the bag and the sides with an old pair of jeans, and then just picked from the array of fabrics I have.  My bag looks nothing like my inspiration piece but I like it.  It is a bit bigger than I probably need but for now it will do.  I will call it a success!

Happy Tuesday!
