Show Off Bag 1 & 2

I made these bags so long ago (over a year!), but totally forgot to share them. This is the Show Off Bag pattern by Whistlepig Creek, but with some changes of course!

I made one slightly smaller, but both in the same fabric. The larger one I gave to my niece to use as a diaper bag or whatever she wanted to use it for. Her baby is over a 16 months old now. I put the baby quilt and stuffed bears I made into the bag when I mailed it to her. I already shared those 2 things in a past post, but somehow forgot about sharing these. So here they are.

This is the large size bag and I added purse feet to the bottom of the bag to help keep it clean.

Inside the bag are lots of slip pockets on both sides.

I added a hidden pocket on both the front and the back of the bag, which is perfect for holding a phone or keys.

The baby quilt and stuffed bears are inside this bag that I sent to my niece over a year ago.

The side has pockets with elastic on top.

Here is the front hidden pocket. and there is one on the back as well.

A zippered closure to keep the contents secure inside.

Show Off Bag 2 (reduced slightly)~

I made these pockets a bit shorter and I don't remember how or why that happened?

I used a blue zipper for this bag.

Inside a different fabric for the lining. I SOLD this second bag.

Diaper Bag, Twister Baby Quilt & Stuffed Bears in Velour

Over a year ago I made a diaper bag, a quilt and a couple of bears as a gift to my niece who was having a baby (he is one year old already!). 

I chose to make the Show Off Bag (Whistlepig Creek pattern). I thought it could be used as a diaper bag or later as a nice tote bag for carrying things that are needed for 2 young children (Great nephew has an older sister). My niece likes blue, so that's what she got. 

I made the Twister quilt in bold colors for a boy. I made 2 velour Warren bears. I told my niece to let her young daughter to choose the bear she wanted and the other bear is for her baby brother. I don't know which bear she chose.  

The Show Off Bag (named so you could show off a large print).

Sides have a pocket with elastic top, which I thought would hold a baby bottle and later a water bottle or sippy bottle.

I added a couple of hidden slip pockets; one on the front and one on the back of the bag for quick access to keys and phone.

Bag zips closed.

To show how large this bag is, I rolled up the quilt (backed in blue flannel) and put the blue bear on the right and the aqua bear on top. Then zipped it closed. I put this in a box to mail it to her.

I added divided slip pockets on each side along the width of the bag.

I added purse feet on the bottom.

The bag measures 18" wide x 12" high x 6" deep.

Now on to the Twister Quilt~

I used all scraps for the front top of the quilt and blue flannel for the back of the quilt. 

Straight lines to quilt it in a variegated thread.

Here are the 2 velour Warren bears (pattern from Shiny Happy World).

I really stuffed them a lot to give them more of a squishy tummy. They are so soft and cuddly.

Aqua bear has a red heart, oval muzzle and a triangle nose.

Blue bear has a long muzzle, oval nose and a heart on the left side.
