I love this idea. A friend of mine just had a baby and this would be the perecft gift. One question thought, do you have a tutorial on the bag? I have just started sewing and have been looking for tutorials on the web. The bag looks simple. Is it basically two rectangles sewn together? Or is there a third piece for the bottom? Thank you!
