Changing Pad Cover

I am a little embarrassed to admit that my son is over a year old
and I have never had a cover for my changing pad.

Yep, you read that right.

I have been just laying a receiving blanket over the top of the pad and then changing it out when necessary. When friends with babies came over I would pray that they didn't ask to use his changing table.

I know, I'm a freak.

The reason I never got one was because at first I couldn't find one in stock that I liked, and then after awhile I just sort of forgot...until I changed another diaper.

I found a tutorial to make my own changing pad cover on Prudent Baby and added it to my "to do before my son enters college" list.

Last night while watching TV I made my first changing pad cover!

It turned out so cute and now I want to make a few more so I have backups. 

I didn't take any pictures of the process, 

but I will take some of the next one I make and will show you.

The fabric is a snuggle flannel from Joannes and is so soft!

In the process of making the cover I ended up with four 8x8 squares of scrap fabric which I used to make two double sided cloth wipes! Yay! I love taking scraps and making something useful and awesome:)

Aren't they just adorable?

They are the perfect size to fold in half and put in my wipes warmer! 

For more information on using cloth wipes, go here.

I will show you how I made these later as well.

I am linking up to some of these linky parties!
