New Fabric!

I love new fabric - I'm sure I've said that before, but I don't mind repeating it. I could be very happy just to have a room full of new fabric and no projects on the go. Just the idea that I could would be enough for a little while. It's brain candy.



Here are the new fabrics I have prepped and ready to go. Since I am just starting this little venture, I only have enough of each fabric for one bag. However, if more than one person request particular fabric, I'm sure I could find the time to go back to the fabric store - and I'm sure I would have no problem convincing a certain someone to come along with me if the timing was right. You know who you are!



Each of these fabrics can be used either as an outer or a liner. In my first bag, posted below this, I combined two contrasting fabrics, while my other bags had a solid black or brown liner. All that you need to do to order is email at closebj@shaw.ca and tell me which fabrics you want to combine, or if you prefer to just use a solid liner, just let me know. I can always use a solid contrasting color or just the black.



I suppose at some point here I should consider an actual online order form, but I'll hold off on that until things progress. Right now I'll rely on good old email!

Here it is! My first "official" Buffy Bo Peep Diaper Bag!

Contrasting fabrics are 100% cotton and pre-shrunk.

All seams are double stitched for extra strength. There are three pockets on the outside.

Three flat pockets on the inside.

This particular bag has a "bow" on the front

PS - Buffy Bo Peep can now be found on Facebook!

Two Bags

I made these bags for a couple friends of mine. I call them my starter bags since I used them to study my patterns and try a few things that I had not thought of before. The major difference here is that I used elasticized pockets on the insides and I made two magnetic snaps for the closures. My newest bag has flat pockets and only one snap. This makes the bag a little more affordable and cuts down on my sewing time per bag.

My Very First Bag

I made this diaper bag after a three year search for something that would fit my needs. I needed something big enough to hold items for three kids and more importantly, something that would keep my bottles upright! I was so tired of having spilled formula all over the contents of my bag, but manufacturers couldn't seem to understand why this was important.

I made this thing as cheaply as I could. The first time I attempt a project I go cheap so that I am not wasting expensive materials on something that might end up in scraps. I didn't use any interfacing. The thread was 33 cents a spool. The fabric was in the extreme discount bin. I didn't double stitch any of the seams.

Even so, this bag has held up better than any store bought one. The first year we had my son we went though about 4 bags with each of them ripping at the seams within 3-4 months. This bag, despite it's penny pinching heritage, has only just begun to show signs of wear and tear. This bag is used on a daily basis and crammed full of diapers, formula and sippy cups. It gets dragged, thrown around, hung over my shoulder and hung over the bars of my massive double stroller.

New Fabrics!

These will be used in my first batch of Buffy Bo Peep Diaper Bags! I'm very much looking forward to this!
