Diaper Change Packet

This may be my new "go~to" gift for baby showers.
It's fast, easy and useful!
You can't beat that combination!

The pattern is from "Simple Quilts and Sewing #119" magazine (2011).
It's made to fit inside your diaper bag and will hold the changing pad, a container of wipes and one or two diapers.  Since we haven't had either wipes or diapers here for quite awhile, I haven't been able to test it out to see exactly how many it will hold.


The pattern called for using vinyl backed flannel.  I wasn't able to find any, and I wasn't sure if it would be able to be put in the dryer.  So, instead, I used two patterns of flannel and sandwiched
a layer of fusible fleece inside.  It's very soft and can go directly into the dryer, when needed.
I think this would be a great gift for new dads ~ maybe using a buckle rather than a button and ribbon and some "guy" fabric.

These could also be used for other things ~ an art kit, just a few toys for church, to store a bib and utensils ~ just about anything!

  1. I need one of these! I wonder if you could line it with the PUL Fabric from JoAnn's? It says to machine wash warm and tumble dry medium heat, no iron.
