Overalls and diaper bags

I know I was all about the 'purses' the last time I posted BUT I was interrupted by the need to have something for my stepdaughter's baby shower SOOOooo as practice on the purse venture I made her a diaper bag from a pair of her dad's worn-out overall's.  Sweetie runs a concrete plant and his favorite 'outfit' is good old, hard-wearing, country, denim overalls.  Sometimes we use the old ones for scarecrows but other than that I hate to admit that some have been disposed of.  I think I'm on to something here that may eliminate all that waste.  what do you think?

Here's the back view.

I really need to take a better shot with nothing in it - I took the pictures after I'd gussied her up for the baby shower.

Now, from here I think I need to get on to making my purses and knitting trugs like I'd planned.  I have almost gotten my etsy shop ready, I have labels ordered but I gotta' have something to sell before it will really be ready.

Now I've still got a 2nd sock on the needles and tons of yarn, but what's a girl to do.  Ya gotta' go where the inspiration leads ya.  And I still have not taken pics of my living room sewing station.  I'm still thinking I'm gonna take over the grandson's room - I mean he's only there on the weekends!!

That looks really cute! Perfect for a diaper bag. The idea of external pockets to toss quick access items like tissues, is a good idea. I just may use that thought if I ever get around to my jean bag....
