I got it in my head to start working on Valentine's Cards today!

I got two new bead presses for Christmas! One of them was the "Kalera" press from Zoozii's - a sort of puffy tile shape that makes for a wonderful little glass canvas to decorate.

Here are two new sets made with the largest size of the press. They are about 20mm from end to end, which is actually quite a nice big bead.

Disclaimer: I am typing this on my phone because our net is down so please excuse my typos.

I have (about) a yard of some fabric that I would like to make into a diaper bag. It is just thin cotton so obviously it won't work by itself. I also have a pair or two of old jeans that I can sacrifice for stability.

I have never attempted a project like this before so I'm not really sure where to begin. I n would like it to be sort of a messenger bag style for ease of carrying and also because I think that the huge diaper bags that people carry around are super obnoxious. I guess I just want an enlarged purse where I can also carry a few diapers and a change of baby clothes.

Do Yi think it would work to use denim for the inner lining and the other cotton for the outside (the part that shows)? I will prewash everything of course so as to avoid shrinkage issues. I have a good idea of how to make pockets. I guess I'm just not sure what to do first. I haven't found a really awesome pattern so Maye that is my issue here.

I know this is all really open ended but if anyone has any helpful advice or links to patterns/tutorials that would be fantastic! I should note that I have a HUGE supply of crafting materials so I am trying to only use what I have instead of buying more stuff. I don't have any interfacing (I don't really Eben know what it is) so I'm not sure if that is a necessary part of this project or not.

Thank you for any help you have!
