Quirky changing pad covers that you can DIY

As you know, I’ve been hands-off in the nursery as far as decor goes. But when it came to the necessity of buying changing cover pads, I begged Mr. M for the chance to quell my sewing bug and make my own. He agreed to let me get a little crafy, and I was quickly off to the fabric store to get stocked up on the goods I needed!

I already had a pattern in mind, thanks to the wonderful PrudentBaby blog, and just needed to find some fabrics that fit the colors of the room and the bedding set. Luckily our local Beverly Fabrics had more than enough designs in mind, and I picked out some Michael Miller fabrics, a batik and some solid colors to make my own little room accents for Baby M.

After some very easy cutting & measuring and basic sewing, I had created all of my changing cover pads with barely any hassle at all. And with 4 of them to rotate through with accidents, I think we’ll be set for awhile! Much much better than paying $23 for just one of the “matching” changing pad covers… and a bit more fun than just an ordinary plain cover.

And just think — they make wonderful baby shower gifts as well!

p.s. yes this is a “sneak peek” at the finished room… but no more photos until everything is totally done in there!
