Will it fit? A diaper bag dilemma

My lovely diaper bag, after only a few months of use finally went kaput on me. The buttons were coming off, and the zipper broke from trying to stuff so much into such a small bag.

Brooke, a dear friend from Twitter, offered to send one of her bags to review. I jumped at the chance, especially since she is full of sewing awesomeness.


Seeing as how I stretched my last diaper bag out of commission, I thought it would be fun to show a step by step of seeing if Brooke's design could hold up to all of my needs!

That looks like a lot...

It's never going to fit...

Almost got it!

And the last item is in!

All done, and the bag isn't busting at the seams!

I was pretty happy to see that everything fit in it! I could get the bag closed without stressing the zipper, and the bag didn't have that heavy full feel. There are four deep pockets on the inside, which come in handy for small items. The only thing I wish there was though, was a zippered inside pocket. Since I use the diaper bag as my purse, I need a place to put some of my things (like a pad).

Other than that, the diaper bag is excellent! The straps are long enough that I can put them over my shoulder without it feeling like it's going to come off. I love the outside pockets that I can just throw my keys into, I won't have to search to the bottom of the bag to find them now.

The bag's straps are held on with a square metal ring, which is super great because I can attach my wet bag with a strap directly to the outside of the bag. No more taking up space on the inside! If you don't already have a wet bag that will attach to the diaper bag, she sells them too! Take a look at Brooke's shop for her diaper bag accessories!
