She has been super clingy and not sleeping well but she FINALLY WENT TO BED BEFORE 2 AM!!!!! So I finally had the time to sew something! Today's tutorial is a diaper clutch. Miss A is getting old enough that if I won't be gone too long all I need is a few diapers and wipes so I made something to put them in!
Materials
1/2 yard cotton print fabric
1/2 yard fleece
9 1/2 " x 18 " Fusible Interfacing
Contrasting thread
6" pieces of velcro
Now first off you are going to cut 9 1/2' off the bottoms of your half yards of fabric. You want to lay the fabric so that the length is 1/2 a yard like this
And cut 9 1/2" off the bottom of both pieces. You can throw away the excess fleece but keep the piece of cotton print to make the pocket to hold your diapers and wipes
Next you are going to iron the fusible interfacing to the pocket piece to make it sturdier. Then Hem one of the long edges so that you wont have a raw edge when it is attached. I used a decorative stitch but you don't have to.
After that you are going to lay all your pieces out so you can pin them together. Make sure you place the pocket on the fleece right side up and then lay the cotton print over top of that right side down like this
Next you need to pin all the way around and stitch the pieces together with a straight stitch using a 5/8 seam.
Make sure you leave about a 5" opening so that you can turn it right side out.
Once you have stitched it you need to cut the corners at an angle so that you can turn them. I used pinking shears to cut mine but you don't have to. Make sure not to clip your seam by accident.
Once you have clipped your corners turn it right side out and press it and turn under the edges of your hole. Run a stitch all the way around so that you can run a stitch all the way around to make it look more finished. I used a decorative one but you don't need to.
Once you have done that pin your velcro 1" from the top and stitch it down.
I would suggest putting the things you want to carry in it inside and rolling it up and then placing the second piece of velcro so that it is in a good place.
