Dolly Diapers, Wipes and Diaper Bag

Katy's birthday is coming up and we want her to have her own girly toys. She's been sharing Brandon's boy toys and, while she can have fun with anything, her feminine nature is coming through and she needs girl stuff.

I decided to make her pretend diapers and wipes for her babies. And a little diaper bag to keep it all in.

I found a few tutorials that were all great. This one has the diaper pattern. This one has the wipes tutorial. And this one has directions for a tote bag.


I will do my best to put it all in one place here.

First of all, I bought 1/8 yard of fabric. (5 pieces of fabric for about $3) Cut it in half and sew the two pieces together, lengthwise. Press open.

 Using the diaper pattern, I made it a full sized pattern instead of the half that you cut out on a fold. I traced it onto an old sheet, nice and soft.

Pin right sides together and sew directly on the line.


Cut out, leaving a 1/4 inch edge trim corners and clip curves.

Turn right side out and press.

Top stitch. I sewed as close the edge as possible.

Sew on velcro and put that cute little diaper on a doll!




 Wipes
The same blog had a tutorial for dolly wipes. I used some left over felt and it took less than an hour to do this one. I used hot glue to attach the hearts. Oh, with this one I felt like the flap was a little small so I made it the same size as the wipes and it works great.



Diaper Bag
I found a super simple tutorial  for a little tote bag. My bag is 12"x9." She had a great little tip for making perfect square corners. So smart!!

I used some scrap pieces of curtains from Katy's room. Nice and sturdy. And pink!

 I added a little pocket on the side for a bottle.

Everything fits in perfectly! Yay!!

This was such a fun project and I can't wait for her to play with it!!
