Tutorial: Waterproof baby diaper changing mat

Jess from Gracious Threads shows how you can sew a roll-up baby diaper changing mat. The top is made from an absorbent terry cloth, and it’s backed with a fun quilting weight cotton. PUL between the lining and the backing makes it waterproof. A triangular pocket in the corner will hold a diaper and wipes, and the whole thing rolls up so you can tuck in your bag.
