Just like Mommy!

Kyra recently really started getting into baby dolls, doing everything a mommy does, which is perfect timing. So her big present from us this year is a baby doll set with a highchair, swing etc. I wanted to make her a little diaper bag to go along with it. I went ahead and tried making a "placemat tote" bag or a scripture tote. Obviously it is made out of a single placemat. I found this one at Walmart, for $2. There are tutorials all over online for scripture tote bag. I just added a pocket, and the flower to mine. **Please don't look to closely at my carpet..I'm hoping my vacumn is repaired this week!
Then this is what is inside...

Kyra loves using the size 2 diapers that we have left over from Kyle, for her baby dolls, but obviously they are huge, and it gets expensive pretty quickly. The toy store sells baby doll size disposable diapers, but again..expensive. So I gave these cloth baby diapers a whirl. Here is the tutorial for them. They were so easy, and can be used over and over since they have velcro on the inside.
I'm glad I saved this container, because it fits the diapers perfectly, and then fits in the bag. I then recovered one of those green wipes containers that come in the box of diapers from Costco, and made some reusable wipies. Last of all I made a changing pad. I bought some of the .99 cent/yd thin vinyl from Walmart. Considering you only need like a foot or so, its a decent price...but it was a pain in the kaboose to work with. I still don't love it, but I'm not willing to pick out any more seams!
I think/hope she will love it!

Very cute!! I love it. I am actually making MacKenzie a scripture tote with a placemat also from Wal-Mart. Stripes, but in different colors. Love it!

I LOVE IT!! I wish I would have done that for Paige. She is just getting to that stage...maybe I'll get ambitious. I love looking at your blog. You always have such fun stuff.
