It is a great feeling when one takes the time to sew a special bag and it instantly becomes a new favorite! That is what happened to me recently, and my new favorite bag is the Miranda Day Bag by Lazy Girl. I made it with plans to use it as Kate’s diaper bag. Once we started to make small trips away from home, it soon became clear that its style, size and the inside pockets are perfect for the variety of on-the-go baby items needed.
The bottom base is 6” wide and 12” long to give an idea of its size. The sides are firm and it sits upright without falling over. This is especially helpful when looking through it one-handedly while holding a small squirming child.
The Miranda Day bag’s moderate yet roomy size easily doubles as a “personal assistant” with the many inside pockets to keep everything organized. For baby they keep wipes, pacifier, diaper cream, and bottles all in plain sight. I have used the extra pockets for my own wallet and keys when I don’t need to take another purse.
No Baby? Did I mention the inside pockets? File folders, magazines, cell phone, note pads and pens all fit nicely into tidy pockets that are easy to see. Never loose a necessary item again!
The Lazy Girl patterns are known for full color pictures and easy to read instructions. It is easy to see their professionally made patterns have been tested many times, and they are well-written, even for the beginner sewer.
