It features a wipeable vinyl surface, two hanging pockets for diapers and wipes, and an elastic closure that can be fastened with one hand. It folds up into a tidy clutch.

This has been my go too pattern for about the past 6 years now. Every time someone has a baby, I make one. I have probably made around 15 -20 or more. Nice easy to follow along instructions. Thanks for sharing.
I also used a heavier vinyl, 16" needle, fusible batting, and made my second mat larger by an inch all around. I added a handle so that you can pull it out of the diaper bag easily. Used an antique button. It's a piece of art! Great instructions and comments too! Best shower gift ever!
I've made so many of your diaper bags from your tutorial to give as gifts that I want to especially thank you and send blessings
how thick batting do you use
9 years later and friends are still asking me to make another one for the latest child/grandchild. Such a good tutorial!
Thanks again and best wishes to you and your team. Stay safe during this difficult time.
Greetings from Scotland today, Tuesday June 15th 2021
I just made this project for one of my nieces who is expecting. Such a great project. It turned out beautifully. I love it and I'm sure she will as well. Next time I do make one I will also make the pad a bit larger.
I used a heavier gauge colored vinyl and changed out my needle to a "16 denim". I used iron on fusible batting (not on the vinyl side) and used an antique button. I used the vinyl instead of bias tape on the pocket trim. Take care when attaching the elastic that the larger part of the loop is going to turn out to the outside when complete. Once you stitch closed, it's very difficult to move. Love the pattern. I enlarged it the second time to 13 wide and elongated the large piece on the pocket by 1 inch.
Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial. I sewed this for my niece as a gift and she was so pleased with it. It turned out beautifully.
How adorable! One of my younger BFF’s is expecting her first baby and I’ve been looking around for ideas for gifts outside of the normal blankets, burp cloths, etc...this will work perfectly! Terrific tutorial as always 😊👍🏻
Wonderful and very considerate of the mama . Really very nice. Thank you ✝
I made this for my Grandson. I also thought it was to small. My daughter loves it! It fits perfectly in her diaper bag. My grandson is 16 months old and she still uses it religiously. All of her friends want one. The only thing I changed was, I used Pul on the inside and added a magnet closure. Thank you for a great video of a very useful item.
Char Markey great ideas...
what is Pul
I have made a number of these using iron-vinyl. Works great! Make great baby shower gifts.
Woops I meant iron on vinyl!
Just finished my first bag. I am super excited because I am a beginner sewer and it came out great. I made mines a little bigger and I cannot wait to give it out as a gift thank you!!
I have made soo many of these as gifts for friends and loved ones and now im making it for my lil one, great tutorial
The recipient of the mat I made just loves it.... excellent idea - thanks so much.
I made one of these yesterday - thought it was a tad small though perfect for a new baby.... I have made another one today - really great idea and I am sure it will work well...
I have a pattern for a changing pad something like . Mine has a place for bottles and other odds and ends. Loved making
I made one for my niece. So cute! I did make it 16" wide and the lengthI added another inch. Per other comment recommendations, I used a 100/16 needle. I'll make it again. Thank you! Great video!
Sheri Meadows do you have recommendation on thread?
I used Coats and Clark brand for quilting. Worked great!
Great! thanks
Thank you, that was fantastic!I'm sewing for my new grand daughter to be
Hello again, I made another bag like this for a relative's grand daughter. I cant seem to post a photo, you tube wont let me. This was my fifth one. Thank you so much for the excellent tutorial. (This time I made it slightly bigger)
the pocket was done wrong and changed if you watch closely. I put right sides together on the top material JUST LIKE SHE HAD IT and when I turned it right side out, the pocket material was correct but the back of the pocket had the wrong side out. Very frustrating
Great tutorial. I will make one for I will be a great grandma.
Thank you so much for your tutorials! They're so easy to follow! ^_^
brilliant and so clear i will make one of these......thank you for sharing :)
very cool
Matching nails to! :)
Stunning!!
Thank you for sharing. I’m anxious to make one of these but I have never seen with vinyl before. I wonder how would we wash this
Made one again
Thank you so much
Very nice will try it thank u
I am going to make this changing mat and will make it bigger as many have suggested. Has anyone used another washable fabric instead of the vinyl? I am thinking of using flannel instead so it can be thrown in the washing machine and dryer . Thoughts?
Where was the pocket pieces updated cut list?
Great! thank you so much...:)
I don't understand how to sew the button...can someone please explain? I'm fairly new to sewing and I can't seem to figure that part out!! Thank you!
Can it be machine washed with the vinyl?
Hello, thank you so much for your tutorial which was excellent.The bag has turned out to be quite small, ie 11" by 8 ", have I done something wrong?The baby needs to be tiny to accommodate this mat!Thank you anyway and have a great Christmas!
+Mumtaz Mahmood ...The only folding done is with the 7" pocket pieces. Sounds like you folded the 23 x 12 main body?
Tips about sewing on vinyl?
Luv iy very handy
Easy to make, but made the mistake of NOT making it wider than the suggested 12". If I made another one, I would make it 16" or 18". Great pattern though!
Can the vinyl be left off.
how thick batting did you use
Love this! But is this changing mat machine washable? I guess not because of the vinyl?
yes... cold and dry on low for a few min.... and lay flat to dry the rest of the way...
Can ribbon be used for the edges? Thanks!
This video was not completely clear on the details. I tried to make this exactly how it was on the video but came out wrong since I did not understand how to put the pockets onto the pad. Please include more details on other videos but don't stop what your doing.
Lana Morrissey you place the pockets between the top side and the bottom side of the mat and when you sew all around it they get sewn too.
Can you wash these with vinyl?
Zip did this I think it's for a doll
What did you call the white fabric?? Thanks
tintin8926 batting
Where can you purchase the vinyl at?
joann fabric sells it... but you can also get the a vinyl fabric with cotton on the back there and eliminate the clear plastic
