Tutorial: Baby changing mat clutch

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.
