I couldn't believe this! I just finally got a sewing machine about a month ago. Redid all my curtains with thrift store sheets. ANYWAY- I was invited to a baby shower with gals from my old office that I worked full time in for years. Since I'm not working I'm trying to be super frugal. SO, I decided to make a diaper bag out of an old quilt that I had-never done it before,was a little embarrased! You know what? Every one loved them and I got 3 orders for more!!!! Couldn't believe it!!I'm still laughing about it! Guess I'll be making diaper bags for a while!!! |

Mima, that is toooo cool!!! I would like to put an order in also, but could you make it a purse instead. No flap where it closes, just square and simple. Maybe a little loop and button closure. What do ya think???
