I'm so envious of people who can sew useful things!!<br /><br />I have been through 4+ diaper bags with 2 kids, and definitely recommend one with a zipper across the top. Ours is always falling over, and with just a magnetic flap closure, things inevitably fall out. I have tons of little stuff in mine like lip balm, diaper cream, energy bars for my 4yo, pens, etc. and limited zip pocket space, so things are always getting lost. So definitely a top zipper, and I'd recommend a bag with some individual compartments inside so you can easily find stuff. (Or use little zip pouches inside to separate baby stuff and your own stuff. Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212690454989568626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559024697095235809.post-79465060530854110262013-10-16T06:17:43.152+10:002013-10-16T06:17:43.152+10:00Congratulations Angela.

Most of my girlfriends used to only take their diaper bag with then when they headed out, so the money would be in there, too.. Plus I love the pattern of the first one! ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344983242039449921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559024697095235809.post-54151288137333206752013-10-15T17:43:54.104+10:002013-10-15T17:43:54.104+10:00I have never made the Craft Apple Diaper Bag but I...I have never made the Craft Apple Diaper Bag but I have made a couple if different ones that are very similar in style and I have made the Aragon Bag. I have a 19 month old and a now nearly 12 hour old and I can say I definitely prefer the Aragon Bag. I did change the pockets a little by putting elastic pockets on both sides of the lining instead of a zippered interior pocket. I hope you figure out which ones works best for you and I look forward to seeing the finished product!!Angela Bullardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16255361387441358437noreply@blogger.com
