This looks fabulous and very useful for the mom on the go. Love your addition of the loops for keys. I will certainly use that in my next purse. thanks for the very detailed review.

Awesome Review. I love the carabiner addition; and that you made it long enough you don't have to take them off to open the door! So Smart! Beautiful blue too!

I love the new bag so much I have been on a quest all weekend trying to locate the dysfunctional family fabric. Think I located some and have ordered it. I am expecting #3 in July and want to make the nappy bag too. I love the mitered corners are the bag and I really think it improves the look. Thanks so much for this review.

I know what you mean about that fabric - when I saw it I *had* to have it. As a diaper bag it suits me perfectly. :-) I am so tickled with this pattern that I have to make another. A friend of mine just told me she is expecting #3 also, and I am going to make her a bag. I don't have enough of the Dysfunctional Family print left to use that though. (And I know it's not for everyone, anyway.) I am going with the Moda Cherries Jubiliee "dots blue green" print with a coordinating floral for the interior. I can't wait to sew it up - and I am going to try my idea with the divided pocket on it.

I am guessing the mitered corners on the bag make it look more boxy? Can you take another picture with you holding the new bag? I know I ask alot but it is so much easier to see the true look when someone is holding it:) Thanks for your review and all your pics of the changes you made. I am going to be making this bag soon. I am going to incorporate most of your changes. Shorts

Yikes! Sorry Shorts - just saw your question now. Mitering the corners of the bag has a useful functional effect - tiny objects don't get wedged down in those pointy corners. With all the crackers and goldfish, etc. that wind up in the bottom of my bag I am grateful to be able to dig out crumbs and what-have-you easily. Also, I found that when I made the corners non-mitered, they looked a bit conical. This looked doofy to me. I think you could miter the corners just a tad to eliminate that effect. I will try and shoot another photo for you with the bag fully loaded if I can remember to do it!
