DIY Tote/Diaper Bag

I have been carrying around the nastiest, stained tote bag when I leave the house. It's actually slightly embarrassing.

When I saw a tutorial on Pinterest for this tote bag, I just had to make it. I am no expert seamstress but I do have to give myself kudos. My skills are greatly improving.

I am in LOVE with the color scheme on this bag (Thanks to fabric.com's awesome fabric selection).

Here is the tutorial I followed:

I made some minor adjustments in order to have a larger tote (big enough to fit diapers, sippy cups, etc)

Here are the measurements I used:
Batting: 20" x 13.5"
Bag piece (yellow chevron): 20"x27.5"
Pocket (grey): 20" x 21"
Webbing: 80" (2 40" pieces)

I really like how it turned out. I can't wait to sew some more in different colors.
