My daughter has been baby doll obsessed for quite some time. It started with a little doll her brother selected for her first birthday and has grown over time. Wanting to encourage her nurturing and imagination, I made her a baby doll changing pad to add to her little diaper bag. She uses it for all of her babies from her tiniest one to her larger American Girl Bitty Baby.

Pin in place. Mark lines approximately 1/2″ in from edges and add curves to each corner. Sew around all 4 sides. Then sew 2 parallel lines dividing the pad into thirds.

Step 3 Trim off the excess fabric close to your stitches leaving a nice, clean edge.

Fold the pad in thirds. Use your fabric marker to note where the velcro aligns on the other side. Sew on other half of velcro to complete the closures.

    Hi! Thanks so much for this well explained tutorial with pictures. I made one for my 3 year old Granddaughter for her 4th birthday. It matches well with the diaper bag and diaper case and wipes. I know she will love it! The change pad also looks like the real one that Mommies use! Thanks again, Joan
