It’s a changing pad, a play mat, it stores a change of clothes and diapers, AND it folds up to fit into your diaper bag. It’s the perfect baby shower gift too!
An easy 5 minute project to make one, less than 10 minutes to make a set. Fill them with rice and heat in the microwave to warm little hands and pockets. You can even added a couple of drops of peppermint oils, and they smell wonderful!

Welcome! I'm Brandy, mother to 5 darling kiddos and a cute black lab named Toby. My husband is in the Coast Guard so we've lived all over the place, turning each house into a home. I love baking, sewing, making cute things with my kids, and sharing what I've learned with all of you!
Such cute ideas! I love the tissue pouch I’m a sucker for anything like that, but I usually waste money buying it. This time I may make my own since I have some leftover fabric from a previous project.
Oh, I hope you do! They are so easy to make!
Such cute ideas. Thank you for sharing.
