I’ve been hoarding this pretty floral oilcloth for years now and finally thought up the perfect project for it! This is a super simple changing mat with a few great features! The oilcloth makes it wipeable and it folds up into a little rectangle with a strap and snap to hold it together. It’s the perfect size for baby’s first year and has a layer of batting for a bit of softness. Is it making me excited to change baby diapers for the first time in over 6 months??? The power of a sewing project, I tell ya. I serged the edges of this project, because I love the look of serging. (Plus, it’s National Serger Month!) Serging is also an easy way to finish oilcloth because you don’t have to turn the fabric, leaving bulky seam allowances. If you don’t have a serger, there are 2 options for easy finishing: use a tight zig-zag stitch for a similar effect OR use bias tape to bind around the edges (and add a pop of color). I used my Babylock Diana serger/coverstitch machine for this project.
It’s a simple sew, makes a fun shower gift, and might even make you excited about baby poop! Materials: -1/2 yard Oilcloth -1/2 yard cotton, canvas, or other for backing. (I’m using denim) -1/2 yard batting, my favorite is Warm & Natural, it’s felted and easy to work with. –Kam Snap Pliers -pattern (see button below!)

But here are some other cute options: –Cherry Blossom Floral –Hydrangea Floral –Hibiscus Floral –Green Apple Oilcloth –Yellow Apple –b/w Polka Dot Instructions: To start, print out the pattern piece and tape together.

Line up all the edges. Use sewing clips to hold it together and serge edges, shown in grey. Fold strap in half and match long edges. Serge around raw edges of strap. Sew to a corner of the mat, 3″ from the corners edge. Place a snap at the end of the strap. And a corresponding snap at the same spot on the other top corner of the mat, 3″ from the corner.

As you plan for your new addition, think about how you'll be transporting your baby. A car seat is a necessity if you'll ever be taking your child in a car. Decide whether you want an infant car seat, which is rear facing and has a low height and weight limit, or a convertible car seat, which can be faced to the rear of the car when your child is young and turned around when he or she is ready to face forward. Look for a stroller that's suited to your lifestyle: umbrella strollers are lightweight and great for carrying up and down stairs, while heavier strollers with large wheels are better suited for rough terrain. A jogging stroller is great if you're physically active. You may also want to consider a baby carrier.It's also important to have a secure, comfortable and stimulating place to put your baby while you do you other things. baby bouncers and baby swings provide a soothing, womblike environment that's great for newborns, and many come with dangling toys and music for extra stimulation.
When your baby learns to sit up, he or she will enjoy a gym or seated playstation. Playards provide enclosed spaces for babies who are mobile, and some also function as portable cribs.Whatever gear you choose, you can count on Walmart for Every Day Low Prices for all your baby's needs.SUBSCRIBE TO GET ALL THE LATEST!
