How to Make a Baby Changing Mat

This article will show you how to make a baby changing mat!


1-Get yourself a meter (1m x 0.7m) of water resistant fabric, any color you like. Half a meter of thick wadding (0.9 x 0.6), some thread and you're ready to go.
2-Place the wadding on top of the fabric and fold the fabric over so you have three sides ready to stitch with one folded side. Ensure you have about 1 inch of free fabric on each side, cut down if necessary.
3-Remove the wadding and fold the fabric back over so the water resistant surface is inside. Sew along the 2 longest sides.
4-Turn the fabric back inside out so the water resistant side is now on the outside. Stuff the wadding in to create a smooth, bouncy surface.
5-With the unstitched side, pull tightly to make sure the wadding fits snug inside and sew along the seam.
6-For added effect, stitch about 2 inches in from each side to create the centre where your baby can lay down comfortably.
