travel changing pad and diaper holder....

OK so this is my personal experience with making a diaper changing pad and holder clutch. These are super cute and very convenient to have you can just pack them into your big diaper bag and just grab these instead of searching for a diaper and wipes when its time to change the baby on the go, it also keeps you from having to lay your baby on that nasty changing table at the department store.
OK so there is my finished product since i just started this blog my next projects i will be taking pictures as i sew to give a better idea of how to do them.
  What you will need:
                             -1/2 yd of mink/fleece/plush fabric for inside
                             -1/2 yd of fabric for outside
                             - thread
                             - scissors or rotary cutter
                             - Velcro
OK so i cut out my minky fabric for inside and regular fabric for outside as follows 13" x 35" but if i do another one i would probably cut out 15" x 37"...
now that i have my 2 pieces of fabric i line them up with right sides together and pin them together all the way around, begin to sew at edge of the long side that way you can leave 4-5" unsewn so you can turn inside out when finished with sewing, sew 1/4" seam allowance once you are done with that cut the triangles off each corner that way when you turn it inside out you get nice angled corners. ok so now go ahead and turn it out just like you would do a pillow and sew the small opening you left with 1/4" seam allowance , now you are going to take your small side you just sewed and fold it over to make the pocket.

pin it in place and sew a 1/4" seam allowance all the way around the clutch. Then place either 3 diapers or a folded up towel in the pocket and fold up the clutch so you know where to put the velcro. Sew on the velcro in both spots and tada there you have it diaper changing pad clutch ready to go.
this is my first time doing this and hopefully i helped somebody out if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
