  • You might have guessed my next pattern would be a nappy bag/diaper bag/changing bag pattern due to my current 'predicament' and you wouldn't be wrong!

    This is by far the most involved pattern I've written with a grand total of 10 pockets! It comes with shoulder handles, a detachable long cross body (or slinging over shoulder) strap. The outside has two full width pockets, one with a flap and up to two keychains/dummy holders, one with a hidden zipped pocket. It has an elastic side pocket on each end (ideal for water bottles/milk bottles). Inside boasts 4 elasticated slip pockets, one zipped pocket and two elasticated bottle holders. Phew, I'm tired just thinking about it!

  • Lovely friends, I am possibly the luckiest pattern designer in the world, because I have such talented and generous pattern testers!

    This pattern proved to be a bit tricksy and had a few fairly major design edits. My testers stepped up to the plate discussing improvements, things they thought could be bettered and some even went so far as to make a second bag when the edits had been made. That's commitment!

    Thank you testers, I'm so grateful to you all!

    I'm sharing some of their photos with you today, and the rest will be later on. I was so fortunate to have a wide variety of testers for this bag that it's too many to share in one post!

    I don't usually have so many testers but some tested as a travel bag, some a nappy bag, some a large handbag. Their feedback was all so valuable!Read More
