Epilator bag

I was on a roll after making the pencil holder and the shopper. So I decided to make a new bag for my epilator. I drew a circle on the inside of the red rosed cotton. I measured the perimeter of the circle and cut a rectangular piece of the same red rosed cotton. I closed the rectangle and sewed it onto the circle. Now I only had to sew two small button holes on the top of the bag and make a seam. I re-used the cord of the original epilator bag.

Shopper

For my voluntary job at school I always have to carry lot's of lunch boxes and drinking cups to school. To carry everything around I had a very big shopper bag. Unfortunately one of the handles was torn off. So I decided to make a new big shopping bag that can hold 4 lunch boxes, 4 drinking cups and some other occasional stuff that I have to carry. This is the result.

The bag is made of the leftover canvas fabric from the diaper bag. I also used some leftover checkered green and white cotton fabric from the winter overall.

Diaper bag

At the start of 2012 I finally had the time to make a diaper bag. Although my son's allready was 1,5 years old I still wanted to make the diaper bag. I bought the cotton canvas fabric at IKEA. The inside of the bag is a black cotton fabric. The diaper bag is very convenient since it has many different compartments. The inside of the bag has 6 compartments. At both sides, on the outside of the bag, there are another 2 compartments.

The pattern comes from Amy Butler's book that my sister-in-law owns. In Dutch it's called: "Kleding en knuffels voor de kleintjes". The original pattern resulted in an open diaper bag. My sister-in-law allready made the diaper bag and decided that an open diaper bag is not very convenient. So I decided tot make a closed diaper bad. My diaper bag closes with a zipper that runs all arount the top of the bag. The changing mat is also an extra accessory that was not included in the pattern. But since I had some leftover fabric I decided that a matching changing mat would be handy as well.
