Tutorial: Make a portable baby changing mat in just 30 minutes

Babies rarely need a diaper changed when it’s convenient.  Nope, it almost always happens when you’re out and about, and away from the well-stocked changing table in your baby’s nursery.  Marissa from Rae Gun Ramblings   shows how you can make a fabric changing station that you can toss in your diaper bag.  This lightweight mat is made from a layer of laminate fabric and a layer of ripstop, with a pocket sewn on the side to hold a few diapers and a pack of wipes.  It folds up and snaps shut.  And when it gets dirty, just run it through the washer.  The mat is easy to make, only a 30 minute project.  This would be an awesome gift to give the next time you’re invited to a baby shower.

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.
