February's bag!

Hi everyone!  Sorry I'm so late telling you about February's bag!  For February I made a diaper bag, because it seems like everyone I know is having a baby.  This would also be really cute as a purse too.  Here are some pictures to show you just what it looks like!
This is the front of the bag, obviously. :)  It has a strap that matches the lining fabric that comes around the bag and secures with D-Rings.
This is the back of the bag, which looks suspiciously similar to the front.
This is the bottom.  The pattern includes a piece to cute a plastic template for the base of the bag.
This is a sad looking picture of the inside.  There are eight pockets with elastic tops, so they will not be poochy or anything like that.  This is quite a roomy bag, I of course didn't measure mine and it's currently at the shop, so I can't measure it.  The pattern states that the bag dimensions are 14" tall, 20" lengthwise, and 9" deep.  The straps are nice and fabric-y too (is that a word?), so they are comfortable.  This pattern is done with paper pattern pieces, which Sylvia is going to give us some tips on, because Alex is not good at it. :)

We are having a class for this bag Saturday, February 19, from 10-4, and we have room for a few more people.  If we need to, we will have another class, and we will have to schedule it Saturday, March 12 (tentatively), or sometime during the week.  If you are interested, call the shop and see what's going on.  The number is (207)764-3800, or email sylvia@gardengatefabrics.com.  Thanks, see you soon!
