To a lot of mothers everywhere, diaper bags are a must have item, especially for new moms out there. If you do not leave home without your wallet, keys, or purse, a mother who has a baby does not leave home without a diaper bag. Every mother knows that a baby has needs; needs such as diapers, baby bottles, toys, extra clothing, and much more. These items have to be stored in an ideal carrying case. But just because it is a diaper bag does not mean that it has to look mediocre. After all, mom also has her own needs. You can design your own diaper bag to make it more functional and fashionable. Your diaper bag will look like one of those designer diaper bags in no time. All you have to do is follow these tips.
The first thing you should do is search the Internet for a good well designed pattern and download it. This will serve as your starting base so you will not have to start from scratch. If you are comfortable with the pattern you have just downloaded, you can start printing it out.
Consider the structural design of your bag pattern and see if it is capable of accommodating your particular necessities. Designing one is not just about making it look like designer diaper bags. It is about convenience and practicality as well. Some mothers want their bags to have several pouches as well as zippered pockets, while others prefer large compartments or just a single big interior section. Whatever you decide on, just make sure that it is really what you want and that it will meet your specifications. If you wish to, exterior pouches or pockets can be made in various shapes and sizes. If you prefer shapes such as hearts, circles, or even pouches shaped like jeans back pockets, it is entirely possible. Just find the shape that you want to use and trace it on to a sewing pattern material.
When creating your very own bag, you should also consider the type of closures you will be using. You can choose between snaps or Velcro, buttons, and zippers. Zippers are the most difficult to sew but are, however, the most secure. Although, you cannot use zippers on all of the closures of your bag, otherwise it would be difficult to open and close while carrying your baby. You need easy access to the essentials. So instead of using zippers on all of the closures, you can perhaps use the zipper for one of the interior pockets for your keys and such, and another zipper for the main closure to prevent things from falling all over the place. Velcro or snap locks on all the other closures should suffice.
You must also consider the type of fabric you want to use, if you want it to look like one of those designer diaper bags. The upholstery and decor is essential and the type of fabric you use will be crucial in this phase of the project.
