I made myself a new bag! I love bags. You should see my closet and how stuffed full of homemade bags it is. I have even given tons of them away! Doesn't stop me from making more though. ;0) This is the Go Anywhere Bag by Anna of Noodlehead. I have had this pattern for a long time, and it was time to get to making it. I am kind of at the in between state of needing a diaper bag and not. This is a largeish bag, so I can still stuff in some diapers, nursing cover, and extra set of clothes. I haven't been buying much fabric of late because well, I haven't been sewing very much, and it is hard justifying buying fabric when I have a whole stash that is waiting for me already. However, I fell in love with both Architextures and this star fabric from Constellations., and I knew they would go well together in this pattern. I didn't change much in this pattern except to use flat piping for the edge of the pocket, the back pocket I sewed a line up the middle instead of adding a snap because I feel large pockets often get floppy, and I used fusible fleece for the outside of the bag because I love the soft structure it provides. I also quilted the main bag pieces because I love the look. The pattern went together quickly, and now I am trying to pick what fabrics to use for her new Divided Basket pattern!
I love this bag, Meg! Gorgeous fabric choices. And the change you made to the back pocket solves a problem I had with my Go Anywhere bag. I carried that bag every day for over a year, but the handles finally gave out. I'm trying to decide which bag to make next, but now you've got me thinking I should make another one of these :)
