Check out the ones others have made…. ‘click on any image to start the lightbox display. use your esc key to close the lightbox. ?’. get started by getting all your materials together and follow the tutorial by marzipan …. this diy baby changing mat has changed the way i clean up on the go. you’ve got pockets lined with fresh diapers. For option 1 – the pockets were placed at 2 inches up from the bottom edge. place them so the pocket front (the short side) is face down on the mat when folded. apply your bias tape all around the edge of the mat, catching and enclosing all raw edges and securing the pockets in place.
Here is the changing pad i made for my sister. and a tutorial if you want to make one too. this changing pad is absorbent. note: a person experience about changing pads. Use sewing clips to hold it together and serge edges, shown in grey. fold strap in half and match long edges. serge around raw edges of strap. sew to a corner of the mat, 3″ from the corners edge. place a snap at the end of the strap. and a corresponding snap at the same spot on the other top corner of the mat, 3″ from the corner. Head to the sewing machine and straight stitch around the edge of the changing pad leaving a 4” opening on one side for turning. use a 1 2 inch seam allowance and remember to backstitch at the beginning and end. since the mat's ends are curved, we’ll need to notch the curves before turning the right side out. Step 3. sew on the binding. sew the binding onto the edges of the mat by opening it up, aligning the raw edge with the edge of the mat, and sewing down the first fold. then, fold the bias tape over to the other side of the mat to enclose the raw edge, and pin it in place. then, sew around the binding to attach it.

Really simple. backstitch at the beginning and end of the seam using a 3 8 inch seam allowance. the straight stitch is 2.5 in length. sew to the corner, stopping 3 8 inch from the edge. leave the needle in the down position, lift up your presser foot and pivot the fabric to continue sewing all the way around. Pin in place, then stitch. place the pocket so the bottom edge matches the bottom edge of the changing bag. stitch down the centre of the pocket to create one pocket for the nappies and one for the wipes. pin the side of the pocket to match the side of the mat. pull the elastic so that the top of the pocket lies flat against the mat.
