After I had my first kid, I realized how hard it was to be an organized, forget fashionable, mom. My diaper bag was a cheap black sling that held next to nothing and I could NEVER find anything. I remember packing like eight diapers, but when it came time to change him I could not find one. And the bag was small! Finally, I found a really cute last season Vera Bradley make-up bag to put a couple of diapers in. That was great for awhile until I had another kid and voila! I had TWO kids in diapers.
This bag has gone through many stages, from being solely a pouch with no padding, to padding, to padding and stabilizer, to the end product: decorated, fashion-forward padding pouch that hold quite a few diapers and a wipes case. And it's cute.
Feast your eyes:
Each has a sewn-in hook and loop fastener (Velcro) to keep it secure. A cute ribbon or pom adorn each flap to give it some needed flair. I made my own buttons on some (so easy...note to put method in blog post) and added some coordinating or contrasting ribbon to make it really pop. Overall, very roomy. I stuff four diapers and a wipes case in there and it closes like a charm. When I travel, my Kindle goes into it. I don't know if it fits an iPad** as I don't have one and have yet to make a template for one, but it would not be hard to slightly adjust the pouch to fit an iPad.
For my next go-round of the pouch, I'd like to add a diaper changing mat and a handle on top (or wrist strap!).
There you have it! I'll have a post up on how to make these. Extremely simple!

**Revised: It DOES fit an iPad. Yay!!!
