Travel Changing Pad

That's right! More baby stuff! But can you really blame me? I'm getting a niece!! Actually, I'm getting two nieces!! :o) Can you tell I'm excited?

And babies need a lot of stuff anyway, so I'm just doing my part to help out :o)

So this latest project was one I found at Cluck Cluck Sew. How genius is this?? A diaper/wipes carrier that is also a portable changing pad?! (Cuz who really knows whats on the changing tables you find in the restrooms?)

I followed this tutorial and created this:


The tutorial calls for chenille, minky, or heavy flannel. Minky is nice, but it was a bit too expensive for me. I couldn't find any chenille (at least at the small fabric store that I went to), and I didn't really see any flannel that I thought would really cushion the baby.


So I found some quilt backing and got that. It's soft and cushy and perfect for baby!

 Did I mention it holds diapers and wipes? ;o)


Then it folds up and off you go! Great for a family on the move!

I just happened upon your blog. I wish I knew someone having a baby so I could make this for them! Definitely bookmarking it. Great job!

What a great project. I wish I would have found it a while ago. I think my youngest on will be out of diapers before I get a chance to make something like this. I found you on the weekend blog hop. Check me out if you get a chance http://diyhshp.blogspot.com

A changing pad is one of those baby products that you just slip into a diaper bag and forget about it. Then there's the explosion, the crying, and the frantic search for a good place to put on a new diaper.
