Baby Gifts: Pretty Bird Quick Trip Diaper Bag. Our smaller (and cuter) diaper bag isn't meant to supplant the full-size, workhorse of a diaper bag; you know the one I mean... the one that holds enough stuff to open your own nursery school. Nope. This one is perfect to grab and go for short jaunts out and about. It's still big enough, with pockets inside and outside, to hold the essentials: several diapers, wipes, a couple bottles, a special blankie or toy, even your own wallet and keys.
The outside fabric is a designer cotton; the inside is the popular PUL waterproof fabric. The finished bag is approximately 14" wide and 14" tall with a 6" x 14" bottom panel, and 6" side panels. PUL (Polyurethane Laminate) fabric can be a little finicky to work with, but is a great option when you want a thin, lightweight waterproof layer. It's very popular right now with folks making their own diaper covers. If you experience skipped stitches on the PUL, it usually means you're using the wrong needle.
