Hello Cuties, well checked another thing off my list, yea! This is my grandson's 'manly' diaper bag, for his baby due soon. They already named him, so they wanted his name on it. A very nice Cuties did his name for me. I can't tell you what font this is, all I can say is it stitched very well. Thank you Cutie!-Toogie

Love this bag for a boy. Never saw one before like this. Also love the name. My second great grand baby is due end of October and her name will be Ruby Jane. I guess I'll have to get used to that one. My granddaughter likes all old fashioned/retro things. Where she came up with this name I don't know. I know it makes us feel good to get a project done.

This is the first time I saw one like this, too. His second name is Ross, I like that. I also like Ruby Jane. My grand mother was Ruby. Yes, I have more projects on my 'mental' list but helping right now with Ashley and her family. Probably won't get anymore done for a while.

Great work. Looks like a hooping challenge on the bag even with the zip opening!

Well Toogie this looks very good. A very professional sew out by yourself. Thanks for the info on how you achieved the sew out. I'm at my younger daughters and don't have my card reader box on me so I cant check out the font.

I didn't buy it, but my grandson's wife found it at Burlington's. Thank you, this will be my first great grand, in my ever changing life!

I'm sure you'll have as much enjoyment or more as with your grandchildren. I'm recently a new grandma(son's baby) myself& finding it a delight. :~D

Really no problem, as it unzipped pretty far. I just measured a cross hair with chalk and pinned it to my cutaway. I was kinda scared to mess up because they paid $35. for the bag.....

You are one brave lady!

toogie by toogie 18 Aug 2016

lol-pennyhal2- I had to wait until 'I' was ready. Once I felt good about doing it, it really wasn't a big deal. I think the price of the bag, if I ruined it, scared me-lol-Also, I stitched a sample of the name on a scrap fabric, to make sure it stitched okay first.

It's a manly bag! Do you call these diaper mags? Looks great.

I don't know what they call them but the name says ' Sporty Diaper Backpack'. On the right side is a zip pocket, with a hard case for wipes. It has a push button to open case and an opening for the wipes. You only have to unzip the pocket to refill the hard case. Makes it easy for 'Dad'. It's insulated for the bottles, if there are any, too.

I thought the bag was great, too. Grandson said when he had the baby, he didn't want to carry something that looked like a bag/purse-lol- Thanks for looking Sonja

Looking good. Nice to have a list of embroidery projects. Mine consists of defrost freezer, shampoo carpet, dust blinds.............etc.
Just a thought. I hope they are correct with the sex of your soon to be great grand son. I found out in the delivery room I am having twin girls. Apparently according to the doctor " The placenta has feet". Of course that was a long time ago and things have changed sooooo much.

lol-I guess the Rylan could work both ways...good thing I didn't put Ross with it!-lol- I think with all the 3 or 4D images they have, it should be right, but one never can be 100% certain, I guess.
