Sew Your Own Changing Pad Cover

One way to accessorize a nursery is to make a changing pad cover that matches the bedding or other elements of the room.  This simple project takes less than an hour and is super simple.

Here is a tutorial that helped me from prudentbaby.com, but I did mine slightly different.

This will fit a standard changing pad {32″L X 16″W X 3-4″H}

Start with a piece of fabric 48"x32"

Draw an 8″ square at each of the outside corners and cut them out

Bring the two sides of a corner together, right-side in and sew the corner shut.  Do this to all four corners.

Cut a 50″ piece of elastic and starting at a corner, sew the elastic all the way around inside of the bottom of the cover, pulling the elastic very tight and using a zig-zag stitch for give.

When you’re done your changing pad cover will look something like this:

Put it on your changing pad and...

use to your heart's content!
