DIY: Diaper Clutch and Carseat Cover

Like I said a couple posts ago, I have many friends having babies this year! I want to make many things handmade because I know it means a little bit more than store bought.

Last weekend I made this diaper and wipe clutch for a friend. I would do my own tutorial, but I didn't snap as many pictures all the way through, and this tutorial does a great job. It's easy to follow and has pictures as well. I will include a few of mine throughout this post. I don't know if it's really a practical gift, but as much as I know, I figure that it would sometimes be nice to just grab diapers and wipes and go. Toss the clutch in the stroller, a purse or backpack, or even the car! All you moms out there, what do you think, would you use it??

Anyway, here are a few pictures of the clutch. I figure it can hold a travel case of wipes and four-five diapers, depending on the size.

I sewed the wrong sides together and ironed on some fusible interfacing to give it some volume when folded.

Here is the clutch without my velcro. The diapers would go in the pocket below the onesies.

 The wipes pocket. Excuse the pins, I hadn't quite finished the sewing part of the project. You can see though that I folded it once for the wipes pocket, and then folded it up again for the diaper pouch. So each side is finished and lined.

  The finished product!

I also made a car seat cover following this other tutorial. It was super easy to follow!!! Here are some of my photos of this project. Again, this is something I always see as a blanket draped over the carseat, so I figured it might be nice to have one that won't blow off or fall off!

I absolutely LOVE this fabric!

A view of the ties, placed about 6 inches apart to go on either side of the handle.

 Attach velcro!

 And finished! I obviously don't own a carseat, so it's hard for me to show the finished product! But I'm sure you all can imagine how this is supposed to work!

Until next time!
