I picked these 2 fabrics to make a changing bag for my sisters baby grandson - not yet born. The anchor fabric will be the lining.

I hope he appreciates it! 0_0
I like your choice. I've made two baby bags but they,ve been with Cath Kidston fabric.  Not my choice but the girls loved them.

Thanks OSS, I'm always surprised at the popularity ONG CK  fabric and it isn't cheap! I've made 4 or 5 of them, all using quilting cotton, the advantage being that are very easily washable and recipients have appreciated that. There are a lot of pattern pieces to cut out - always the part I hate!  :S

VG - the number is Simplicity 2924, http://www.simplicity.com/simplicity-pattern-2924-diaper-bag-accessories/2924.html
It makes up very well and I've always had great feedback from anyone I've made it for. I think the numerous pockets included have been really appreciated. I'll put some pics up of previous makes.

They're great. Love the fabrics.    The ones I made were for my stepdaughter and a student of mine.  I used Lisa Lam's pattern from one of her books.  It has loads of pockets and separate sections inside. Took ages to cut everything out and I had to label it all.  I did come across a couple of mistakes in her instructions but generally they were very detailed and good.

Maliw - The pattern (Simplicity 2924) is very easy to make with all the notches in place and good instructions. The pirate fabric has a label in the selvage which says "Dapper Collection ". It was reduced to £5.95 per metre from £9.95 at Myfabrics https://www.myfabrics.co.uk/81-6213-006_cotton-pirates-treasure-3.html.
The blue and white with anchors is from Fabricland.
