Waterproof diaper changing mat tutorial:

Step 1 – Begin to Sew

You will need to assemble the pattern. For instructions on how to assemble the sewing pattern click here.

Place PUL with the waterproof (shiny) side up. Place quilting cotton on top, right side up.

Pin together and baste 1/4″ away from the raw edge.

Step 2 – Make the Corner Pocket

Fold quilting cotton in half, wrong sides together, along the diagonal to form a triangle and press.

Pin the triangle to a lower corner of the terry cloth.

Baste the triangle in place with a 1/4″ seam allowance.

Step 3 – Add the Ties

If you are using bias tape, stitch the long edge closed. Cut in half and knot two of the ends. If you are using ribbon, you can heat seal the ends with a lighter instead.
