I love Ziploc’s bag and containers. I put her paci in a mini sandwich bag and her new diapers in a storage bag. I noticed after awhile the bag filled with diapers would look old and run down after opening it so many times. It bothered me so much, but I didn’t want to keep using a new bag. I hate wasting…something I learned from my mil after living w/ her the past couple of months!
Last night after Lila went down, I had about an hour of free time and made a drawstring bag for my diapers. It felt exhilirating to sew again. A stress reliever perhaps? It was nice because I was still able to spend time with my hubby. We bought a new desk for our office big enough so that one end is my sewing area and the other is for the computer. While I sewed, he facebooked!

hi jane! yes, it’s easy to make and def a project for a beginner! if you get a sewing machine, you can learn the basics off the manual or you can take classes at joanns/michaels. here is a great site w/ a tutorial. if you need help, feel free to email me 🙂

also, if you decide to make one, we love working with japanese fabrics. i think they’re much cuter than the ones at joanns. pricey but cuter 🙂
http://www.superbuzzy.com is a great site to buy fabrics…or etsy!
