Need someone who sews to alter a diaper bag for me! PLEASE?

Okay, call me crazy, but I have come up with a possible solution for my "diaper bag to hook on a Peg" problem.

1 -- Buy a Peg bag in black sable: http://images.andale.com/f2/121/126/6193426/1093711649093_black_0001.JPG

2 -- Buy this incredibly coordinating skirt from Ann Taylor (the fabric is even fuzzy like my Optic Atlantico!):

3 -- See if I can find some talented person to sew the skirt fabric onto the sliver areas of the diaper bag.

Any takers?

Here's my stroller:

Gina, Maybe you could buy the skirt and have a custom bag made? Personally I think it is not as easy as it would seem to just cover the parts on that bag that are not black due to the strap style, etc. Unless you took it to a local shop even? Don't know. GL~

As someone who sews, I'd go with Kath's suggestion of buying the skirt and using it to have a bag custom made. It would be technically possible to do what you are thinking, but a royal pain and prohibitally expensive to have it done right. I have to say, if you do have a bag made using that fabric, it will look really sharp.

There are Michael Miller fabric prints that are very similar. You could have a custom bag made out of one or more of these fabrics. (these came from http://www.cottonshop.net)

Gina,
I thought of you today as I was in the bag section at Walmart (not many places here to shop ;-)). I saw some large photo bags with the LIFE Magazine label. There was one with the black and white photo of the serviceman returning home and kissing a woman. Very striking! They had 2 d rings, one on either side, and would hang evenly on your buggy. It was pretty big, around the size of the LE DIA. It was under $20 so would work even as a temporary bag while you searched or had one made. It is an idea anyway. :-)
HTH~

Thanks for the extra suggestions, everyone!

I've been away for several days as Autumn has had a high fever. Not much computer time!

I'll check out the idea of a custom bag and also definitely check out Walmart!

You guys are great - thanks!
