Thanks so much for taking the time to post this. It's not a difficult project when YOU explain it. I will be making this for sure. You're so good at it, I hope one day I am too. Your voice is reassuring as well! Thanks and have a nice day! 😀👍
I love your videos! You have a wonderful way of teaching! I love that you speak slowly and explain everything in detail! Love this project! I think baby gifts will be my favorite things to sew!
Thank you so much Jan, I really really enjoyed watching you create these beautiful and useful baby changing mats. As always your tutorials are very very precise and so to the point. You’re a brilliant teacher and everything is so inspiring too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤
Another thing about the flat side of the clips is that they are often marked with 1/4"--another reminder that flat side up is right side up. Jan, you are one of the few makers that consistently point out increasing the length of the stitch for topstitching. My OCD self thanks you. Also, for those working with bindings, and edge stitch guide (I have a 1/16th (and others)for my Juki TL) and a regular one for my other machines) will help immensely in staying uniformly away from the edge. This is a very useful project. Those cats with kites is precious fabric.
I am as well. I enjoy sewing on the binding especially since I saw a video for using Milliner’s needles. I was amazed at how much easier they were to use.
@@JanHowell Just finished this with the flip method and top stitching and it turned out great! I have worked with PUL before and forgot how uncooperataive it can be but I wrangled it in the end. This will be a go-to pattern for gifts from now on!
Thank you for sharing the link for the PUL.In the video when working with the PUL, it gives a idea of the feel where other wise impossible to tell when just ordering. and of course the simplistic and direct directions of putting the 3 differnt styles together. The technique of the bias tape is a keeper. .
This is a wonderful tutorial. Like others have said, you make it easy to follow along and give great tips. I'm wondering how wide you made the bias tape for this mat. Thank you so much! Best, Paula
I used a 1 inch, double fold bias tape that I made myself. youmakeitsimple.com/2024/03/23/how-to-make-a-waterproof-baby-changing-mat-simple-sewing-tutorial/
Do you give Care instructions when giving or selling to a recipient ? I love this idea , wish I knew this when my children were babies. Thank you for sharing. 😊
You are so welcome. I havn't, but instructions would be a good idea. These can pretty much go in a regular load of wash so instructions wouldn't be too crucial.
I don't if I'm giving them as a gift. The fabric just doesn't look as crisp. There may be a little shrinking of the flannel but not enought to worry about.
thank you for this video, so helpful! But I was wondering what is the use of fleece in this product? Can i just sew 2 fabrics (PUL & patterned flannel)? will it change how it looks? thank you :)
If you flip it the other direction, Selvage to selvage that is 45 inches. you'll be able to get the 25 inches and you only need 18 inches for the other side. 1/2 yard is 19 inches. I hope tha makes sense.

I’m anxious to make this. I used your links to get the heat bond and PUL fabric. If I’m successful I will donate to the crisis pregnancy center. I will be using a walking foot.
