Hi lovelies, it's time to get going with our Nappy bag sew along!

Today we'll start with our fabrics and stabilisers, getting all prepared and cut out ready to sew.

If you're going to be pattern matching your outer pieces then I'd recommend you don't cut your outer A - Body main, Outer B - Front & back pockets and Outer C - Front flap just yet. We'll have an excellent post next week on how to pattern match, you'll want to read that before cutting those pieces.

Before we start cutting we need to decide on our stabilisers. These are what will hold your bag's shape. You might choose a foam stabiliser (check out my comparison), or a fleece stabiliser. This will depend on your outer fabric.

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
