Doesn't time fly when you're having fun... I meant to make this when I was pregnant but never got around to it, and the nappy bag I got with the pram is so crap I was forced to do it. Glad I did, as it's just the right size, and actually stays on my shoulder.
I made it with a denim outer and red drill lining, and jazzed it up with a bit of striped canvas I've had in the stash for years now. There are a couple of very minor adaptations to the Amy Butler pattern on my sisters advice - I made this bag for her a few years ago. I left out the bottle pockets, added the button closure, and I also added a loop of fabric just inside opening that I can clip my house keys to which makes it a hell of a lot easier to grab keys quickly with a babe in the other arm. The change mat was made as per the instructions and makes for a lovely soft and good size change mat. Worth the effort to make it, and the denim gives the bag a little more body than the first one I made - I'd go for a heavier fabric if you're making this bag.
Must fly - I'm off to Melbourne to show off my little guy in a couple of hours. It's time he met the family.
Really great bag! Hope the trip goes well.
