I finally finished the girl changing pad I made for myself. Here it is...
Here is a better view of the back fabric...
Here it is all rolled up...
As I mentioned with the boy one I made, you can easily stack some diapers and wipes inside and then roll it up. And for quick trips that would be all you'd need to bring. I had thought it would be nice to put some pockets inside for the diapers and wipes, but then decided against doing it. We'll see how it goes using it, maybe it will be nice to have the pockets.
The pattern says to use fleece, but I used terry cloth. Since I was buying the terry cloth for the burp cloths I just got the extra needed for the changing pad too.
The pattern doesn't mention doing any extra quilting through the center of the changing pad. I was worried that after several washings and what not, the terry cloth will stretch and just kind of be separated from the back fabric and not look so nice. So I measured 4 inches in from the side panels (the one quilting line the directions tell you to make) on either side, and sewed a straight quilting down. I was tempted to do it to the side panels too, but I think I'll see how it does after using it. I can always go back and add some quilting lines if I feel like it's separating too much. I had also wanted to add some to the burp cloths too. Well, I did add some along the sides of the ribbon but I felt it wasn't enough. So again, I'll just see how it does after using them.
So cute!
