Free pattern: Baby changing mat that folds to a clutch or satchel

Deby from So Sew Easy shares a free pattern for making a travel baby changing mat that folds into either a clutch or a satchel. The changing mat has pockets on either side to hold a pack of wipes and couple of diapers. It’ll all fold up into either a clutch or satchel style roll for easy transport. The satchel style has a looser wrap and has a handle at the top. The clutch rolls up tighter to take up less space, and has no handle.
