Welcome to Week 29 of the One Yard Wonders Sew Along!
Week 29 – Project 64
Petite Diaper Tote – designed by Jana Nielson – page 178
Tracy chose Valori Wells Wrenly Ingrid Gypsy and Valori Wells Wrenly Wildfield Gypsy.
Materials Needed:
1 yard of fabric (Home Decor weight will wear better)
1 yard of fusible interfacing
1 yard of fusible fleece
1 magnetic snap
7 ” piece of Velcro
sewing machine walking foot
Tracy’s Tips and Thoughts
- The Petite Diaper Tote is a useful, fun project that will make a nice baby shower gift.
- The instructions are clear and well written. A very cleverly designed pattern.
- The size seems just right for a few diapers, some wipes, and other necessities when a big diaper bag isn’t needed.
- Tracy used quilting weight cottons instead of a home decor weight as recommended. She interfaced both the lining and the exterior of the bag.
- The pattern calls for 2 layers of fusible fleece on the changing pad. Tracy used one layer of fleece and a top layer of vinyl for easy cleaning.
- Next time Tracy may sew with one layer of fleece and a laminated cotton for a wipeable top of the pad.
Week 28 – Project 65
Latte Changing Pad – designed by Anne Lindholt Ottosen – page 182
Carrie selected Ann Kelle Urban Zoologie Birds Bermuda and Michael Miller Fabrics Mini Mikes Dot N’ Square Tangerine.
Materials Needed:
1/3 yard of fleece
1″ piece of Velcro
1 yard of coordinating ribbon, up to 1/2″
Carrie’s Tips and Thoughts
- A simple and quick project. Beginning to end in just over an hour.
- The pattern calls for a Velcro closure. Carrie used a snap to close the Sleeve. Add interfacing to the flap for support if you plan to use a snap. (Carrie didn’t think of the snap until she had the bag sewn up…next time!)
- A decorative stitch or piecing the top would be a fun way to embellish the changing pad.
- Carrie likes Tracy’s idea of using a laminated fabric for easy cleaning.
- The perfect gift for a new Mom.

That bird fabric makes me so happy! The bag turned out beautifully. thank you!
Those are too cute!!! I love the fabric choices!!
both are wonderful ~ especially like the fabric in the bag ~ nice to see what it looks like sewn up.
Great projects for baby shower gifts! Especially like those Wrenly prints.
i love the fabric used in the diaper bag! so pretty!
So cute with the bird fabric! I never even noticed that project in the book before. What a great gift for a new baby. There are so many projects in the book, I love it.
i see a diaper tote in my future…although i have no longer have diapers to tote!!
Both completed projects are so happy, the fabrics are perfect! Happy weekend to all!!
Both of those are adorable! Adorable!
I have that Wrenly fabric, may need to make a bag with it!
How bright and fun!!
This is such a perfect combination for a shower present – (note to self: make it now) to have ready to go.
I am loving that wrenly fabric! What sweet gifts for new moms!
Laminated fabric would be a great choice, good idea! I love how these came out. So sweet.
I love the way the Petite Diaper Bag turned out. Wrenly in Gypsy was a great choice!
That Valorie Wells. I just adore her fabrics! Both projects are so fun for trendy moms and very functional — bonus! Like the idea of finding a laminated fabric for the changing pad, too.
Love them both and the fabrics, would use them for myself and not a baby;)
Debbie
Wish had seen these earlier — the baby shower is tomorrow. So very cute….
I love the fabric the bag at the top is made of, so pretty! Looks like a fun shower gift!
Great, fresh projects!
Gorgeous!
I love the fabrics!
Great ideas. I think I bought some iron on vinyl to try; these might be the right projects to give it a whirl.
I love both of these, but especially that diaper tote! I never took a huge diaper bag around when my kids were little; the design of this bag would’ve been perfect for me. I also love the idea of using a laminated fabric so the mommy can wipe it clean!!
Jess
Great projects! I especially like the idea of using laminated cotton for one side of the changing pad (VERY practical for those inevitable messy diapers). Love this series of posts!!
Love the Valori Wells Wrenly Ingrid Gypsy!!!
Both of those projects turned out so well. I’m busy making baby shower gifts, so your timing is beautiful. Many thanks.
Great shower gifts ! Those fabrics are
just perfect !
The fabric choices are wonderful!
I love these cute projects! Now I need to find some babies to sew for
Love both of these projects! I plan to make the Latte Changing Pad to match a Hooter Hider I just made for a friend who is expecting. It’s so nice to see the finished projects.
The projects came out so cute!
The changing pad is fantastic, thank you for posting this. It would be such a handy thing to have when changing a baby.
That is really pretty.
Love the changing pad! Very lucky Mod Baby.
Ahh the petite diaper bag looked so awesome in the book. Mine was a complete disaster. I learned that you actually need to read through the entire process first AND understand it. I learned not to use powerful ridiculous Pelton as a interfacing. Mine looks like a wine bag which is what it’s going to be. I’m thinking that the changing pad could be padding between 2 bottles of wine LOL.
The change pad is unbelievable, thank you for posting this. It would be such a handy thing to have when change a child.
Undeniably consider that which you stated. Your favourite justification seemed to be at the net the simplest factor to be mindful of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed even as other people consider issues that they plainly don’t realize about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and outlined out the whole thing with no need side-effects , other people could take a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thanks Click
