Tutorial: Baby changing mat clutch

October 21, 2013 by Anne Weaver

Wen from What’s Mummy Up To? shows how to make a baby changing mat that folds up into a clutch. When unfolded, there’s a pocket at one end of the mat to hold a pack of wipes and a couple of diapers. The mat is made from two layers of quilting weight cotton. If you make it with both layers from the same fabric, you’ll need just one yard. If you use two coordinating fabrics, then 1 yard of each will be enough to make two. This would make a great present for a new parent, so it wouldn’t be a bad thing to have an extra on hand for last minute shower gifts. Go to What’s Mummy Up To? to get the tutorial.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
