diaper bags diaper bags

The past couple weeks have been spent doing lots of sewing for baby showers.

I had two of them, back to back, for two special ladies.

Special ladies mean special gifts, so I made what I know best, bags.

In this case, diaper bags.

These babies have 10 and 11 pockets, matching changing pads, and some pretty fabric.

I used a little lace and a little rick rack for a little hint of baby, but these bags are just for momma.

They can be ordered custom from my etsy store for your special ladies.

The photos (by Burba and Brian!) look nicer there, too.

Now, off to make myself a diaper-free version...

Keds for Design Nerds

Did you know you could design your own Keds?

Well, you can. 

While looking for some plain black slip-ons, I stumbled upon Keds Studio.

Through a partnership with Zazzle.com, Keds allows you to either choose from designs and color options they provide, or upload your own images.

You can even post your finished shoe design for sale and turn a profit. 

I thought it might be a great opportunity to wear some of those designer wallpaper patterns I've always wanted, but will never be able to afford.  So I whipped up some possible designs.

There are for sure some copyright issues to consider here, but I think that if you just made yourself a pair of Imperial Trellis sneakers, it would be cool with Kelly.
