I need a new diaper bag for the babe. Not huge, I don't carry a lot of stuff, just a couple (maybe 3) diapers, some wipes, maybe a blanket, and a change of clothes. Most ready-made diaper bags are too big for what I need.

Of course, I'm dreading making one, lol. So many steps, pockets, etc - not sure if my brain can handle it! It's a UFO in my mind already, lol.

Anyone have a good pattern recommendation? I'm thinking a messenger style might be good, but I'm not set on it. TIA!

I think I remember there being a messenger bag sew along. I could be mistaken but that would mean you can adjust to your favorite size easily.

I was flipping through simplicity patterns yesterday and they had a diaper bag pattern for quite a few variations. But I don't have any experience with it and I would think you could customize your own with all the pockets and stuff you specifically want just by using any bag pattern. But a diaper bag pattern might give you some ideas.
