Welcome folks to another episode of Thrifty Thursday brought to you by the letter b.... for BOY! That's right we are having a boy! But you know what they say about 3rd time's a charm right! lol anyway... I have 2 daughters so I literally have nothing for this baby.. Unless he wants to go drag... But that wouldn't be sending a very good message now would it.
here is the break down.. I have seen bins this size on etsy for about 35 to 55 dollars they arent quilted either!!!
Walmart quilted fabric - About 4 dollars maybe less...
Brown Liner fabric - 1.50 or so..
Peltex interfacing - 1.35 for a half yard!
So that is under 7 dollars to do yourself! Boo Yahh! lol..
Step 1:
Cut out all your pieces and fuse your interfacing to the outer pieces! In hind sight I wouldn't have used a separate piece for the bottom.. I would've rather just use 2 pieces for the sides and forget about the brown piece so you should cut your pieces like this..
2 ~ 12/17" pieces in quilted material
2 ~ 11/16" pieces of peltex interfacing
2 ~ 12/17" pieces in brown lining
2 ~ 6/10" pieces of quilted material for handles
Step 2:
So here I sewed a brown piece for the bottom which turned out to be completely useless.. So just sew the two outter pieces together. (quilted material) At the bottom NOT SIDES!
Step 3:
Now Sandwich your big piece together and sew up the sides so you have like a pita pocket of fabric!
Step 4:
Press your corner together like the picture shows (seem to seem on the inside of the pita) and sew about 1/4 inch away from the seem to your left. Cut off the corner with siscors! Now do the other corner and repeat steps 1 - 4 for the lining with the brown fabric!
Step 5:
Sew a casing with your strap fabric and turn.
Step 6:
Sew along each side to secure! You have a handle!
Step 7:
Put your lining fabric around the outter fabric (make sure the right sides are facing eachother. Pin your handles where you want them and stitch around leaving a big hole to turn the fabric!
This is what it should look like.
Step 8:
Top stitch around!! And guess what! You are so done !
Enjoy!! I hope you end up with an awesome BIG diaper caddy just like mine! HAPPY SEWING!
YAY for a BOY!! Do you have a name yet? You're going to be busy sewing and crafting! Will you move or will the girls share a room? You need to come to church so I can see you:)
