About ShabbyBabyBags

Sewing and crafting for over 30 years
and have finally found my passion,..besides
fishing. Making diaper bags, quilts and other
handmade items, is my second objective.
My first objective is to make them well...
Making them long lasting and durable.

I am currently in my sixth year of designing
and loving every minute, scrap and thread of it.
I try to make certain each bag will hold up
through the tests of time, double, and sometimes triple stitching,
the stressed areas of each bag.

Construction:

Most of my items are constructed with new fabrics.
I use some vintage chenilles and carefully examine
the items for wear and thread loss.

Velcro Header Instructions:
If you have purchased a bag from one of my retail stores,
one side of your bag may have a velcro strip and paper backing.

After embroidery is done, push lining in all four
corners of bag to re-align the interior, peel velcro backing from top
header, gently pressing flat against lining
(being careful not to let velcro touch any vinyl, until straight and smooth).

If you have a mishap, a dap of wd-40 on you finger, will help remove adhesive.

Vinyl:

I always use a clear layer of vinyl on the bottom of each bag and
inside the pockets to protect from dirt and bacteria.

All bags can be vinyl lined in the interior for
additional $10.00
this is nice to have for bottle and sippy mishaps

I apply a stain/water repellant spray
to make each bag soil and stain resistant.

Washing:
Dry Cleaning is recommended!

The bags without fringe will wash on hand
or gentle cycle in the washer.
The fringe does not wash well
so if your unable to take to the cleaners
soaking, then hand washing is recommended..

Soak in a tub of water using gentle soap
(preferably liquid). Spot treat and hang to dry.
Iron on low setting using a press cloth
and completely avoid touching the vinyl areas.
(An iron will melt the vinyl)

Questions:

If you have any qurestions or concerns about any of
my items, please email or phone me. I want to
maintain a strong relationship with all of my
customers. I have several repeat customers and
I appreciate all the wonderful feedback I've recieved.
