This bag is totally great! My friend will love it. I made two changes, one was to make the mat removable from the bag with velcro. The velcro will never be touched by the baby and I foresee the mat needing a lot more washing than the bag! And the other is the top of the mat I made with fleece. I hope to make another one for these bags for myself some day! Have you had any issues with the magnets being too strong? I have to use two hands to undo these magnets. I might have to do something to degrade these magnets!

Thank you!!

Thanks for the post and the email, Andrea. I had reversed two numbers which is why the mat was too small, and the cutting/instructions for the handle wasn't clearly written. Both of these have been fixed- so glad you brought it to my attention!

My 5"x10" rectangle for the handle also ...

My 5"x10" rectangle for the handle also seemed super wide, and my changing mat doesn't seem long enough compared to your pics. Your instructions say the mat should be folded into thirds as wide as the bag (though not equal) but with a 27" long mat vs. a 12" wide bag after seam allowances, can barely be folded in half.

Either a couple of your measurements are very off or I'm extremely confused.. I'm assuming it's the latter since several other people seem to have made this bag just fine.. help please! :)

I'm not sure how I found this tut, but I'm so glad I did! I can't wait to make one! Thanks for being so generous to strangers :) I'm sending good karma your way!

Woohoo! I finished it. I will post pics on the nest tomorrow. First of all, the amount of engineering it took for you to come up with this is amazing! I was following the directions with a "?" over my head half the time, but when I would get it all together I would think, "BRILLIANT!". Most of the errors I made were user errors - Cutting the fabric the wrong direction to save space (dumb!), laying out the changing mat the wrong direction (hey it is way past my bed time!)...
some other things that were complicated for me - my 5"x10" rectangle for the handle seemed super wide compared to your pics? I folded it in half lengthwise to end up with a 2.5"x10" double thick handle. Also my mat flap ended up being way too long, I just ripped the seam and readjusted it to be more like 3" instead of 8"... now all I need is a baby and I'm ready to use it!! :) Thanks again for posting this. This was my first sewing project in a long time, and I think I'll be doing a lot more sewing now!! I forgot how satisfying it is to be able to complete projects so quickly! (I now have ambitions of nursery bedding dancing in my head!)

You are so wonderful to share this with the world....

You are so wonderful to share this with the world. I will just go with buying one instead of trying to make it because I'm sure it won't look as good as one you would make.

Keep up the great work!
