Once upon a time.....

....there was a mother who needed a ....... (please help me, what´s the English word for this kind of bag?) for her new born son. That mother was me and the baby boy was Jonatan who is going to be 24 this year.
I decided to make one myself. My mother helped me, because she wanted to do some textile printing...

Here it is....unfortunately the handles are missing. This is one of my first quilted project.
Luckily I have developed my skills......

The ruler and the 90 degree angle were not invented.....but I think it looks wonderfully creative.

 

This is the inside. I used loop fabric with plastic on the back for the little man (and later his baby sister) to lie on and in the pockets I had diapers and other useful things.

 

Why do I tell you this story?

Because I found the bag so practical I´ve started to make a new version of it and I´m going to make a pattern. It will be a part of a baby series called "Little Me".

You will find the first part in the next issue of the Fat Quarter-magazine (available in the middle of February)

That pattern is still a secret, but tomorrow I will give you some sneak peeks....
