Being a parent has been the best job in the world. From nurturing a little newborn in the middle of the night to teaching a preschooler how to read, I’ve really enjoyed so many aspects of being a mom. With two young kids in the house, I have learned a lot over the past five years. Today, I will be sharing a few of my best parenting tips, along with the details on why we have loved using Huggies Little Movers Plus diapers from Costco. I’m also sharing the tutorial for making some DIY No-Sew Fabric Storage Bags to organize toys in the kids’ rooms!
Here’s a sneak peek at the bags!

Now, let me also share some of my parenting tips:
- Give baby enough room to explore: Make sure the house is fully baby-proofed and allow baby to explore her surroundings. As long as she is in a safe area, encourage her to do some independent play- it will give her confidence!
- Encourage physical activity: Whether baby is walking or just crawling, make sure baby spends time each day moving around! Head to the park and run around or simply have a crawling race in the living room.
- Cuddle with the kids: Spend quality time each day cuddling with the kids. You can either read a book together or sing songs.
- Establish a bedtime routine: Bedtime can be a hectic time of the day for little kids. Creating a predictable routine (bath, masage, story time, etc.) is helpful!
- Keep baby comfortable & dry: Purchasing Huggies Little Movers Plus is a great way to ensure that I always have plenty of diapers on hand. Huggies Little Movers Plus diapers are only available at Costco! These are absorbent, high-quality diapers that are offered in fun designs that the kids love!
Now, let’s get to the organization bags for the kids’ rooms!

Here’s what you’ll need to make the Fabric Storage Bags:
- about 1 yard of your favorite fabric
- iron-on hem tape
- scissors
- iron
- jute rope

Cut a piece of fabric to a rectangle that is about 18″ x 9″.

Fold the piece of fabric in half. Place a strip of iron-on hem tape along the folded edge. See picture below for clarification.

Now, it’s time to close the bottom of the bag. Place another strip of hem tape along the bottom opening. Iron to seal the edge.

To attach the rope handles, wrap a 8″ strip of hem tape around one end of the rope.

Place the rope into the bag and iron (on both sides) to secure. Do the same for the other end of the rope. My rope was about 15″ long.

Your storage bags are adorable! I LOVE that they are no-sew since I didn’t pay attention back in my home ec. days. I’m confident that I can make these cute bags.

This is such a great idea and is so adorable! Way better than the normal storage bags. Thanks for sharing!
These turned out really cute. I like that they are no-see because I haven’t tried to see anything in ages.
These storage bags came out so cute. Me with sewing is a no-no so this would be perfect for me to make.
Now these are just awesome! I can not sew so this would be a great way for me to back goodie bags for my co-workers or to give me out as Christmas gifts.
Oh these are great! I love the fabric you used. Those bags will be super handy to have around.
That box of 150 diapers may be the largest package of diapers I have ever seen. Those bags are cute, I bet they could be used for little girl’s purses as well.
What a super easy way to make a fabric storage bag on our own, I will give it a try. I am not super talented with sewing tub this seems easy enough!
These are really cute bags. My toddler has stuff on top of stuff for stuff about stuff. This is a great way to help her organize all of the stuff she claims to play with and need.
I love those bags! They are so bright and colorful and easy to make. I will bookmark this and maybe make those bags that I can use for other purposes too. Thank you for the idea!
Omg what cute storage bags!!! Perfect for all of my daughters stuff! I need to make a few of these!!!
If only I don’t work full time and I have have plenty of time . I like to start sewing again, it used to be my hubby when I was a teen. I don’t remember bringing our clothes to store for Hem I do it myself. With that my mom save her time and money.
These are absolutely adorable. I love that they are able to be hung so they are not taking up space on the floor.
These are soo cute! I love how easy they are and so cute too! So much better than ugly storage haha! Great DIY, I need to try it out!
Thanks, Kendall! I love the fabric on these storage bags! It can be personalized in so many ways!
