The perfect Christmas present for the great nieces

I've had a busy few weeks.  For Christmas we drove out to my sister-in-law's house in Colorado and then after being home for a week...I flew to Florida and drove my niece's van and two dogs out to California.  So I can now say that I have driven nearly from coast to coast.  The week that I was home, I made my great nieces' Christmas presents and I did a pretty good job on making them something that they LOVE.

I made them "little mommy" diaper bags that contained baby doll diapers, changing pads, wipes w/ case and a little moby wrap.

I found a tutorial for the diaper bag and I just went to put the link in here and the website isn't up any more.  That's frustrating.  But...it's kind of like a rectangle purse...and really any bag would do.  Here are my two bags:

Then here is the tutorial for the diapers and wipes with case.  The three year old sat down and put the diaper on the baby doll without any help.  I guess she's been watching her mom change her little sister's diapers.  The two year old needed a little more help with putting the diaper on her doll.  Those are the wipes strewn about in the picture below...that was one dirty diaper she was changing.

For the changing pad I just used two pieces of flannel, about 9"x18" and sewed those together with a print on one side and a solid on the other.  Then I sewed two horizontal lines dividing it into thirds and folded it along those lines to make it look a little more like the real ones.


The "moby wrap" was the easiest.  I had a scrap of jersey knit that I just cut into two strips that were 6 inches by width of fabric (the big one I made for their momma was 20 inches by 6 yards).  Jaycey loved how she was able to carry around her baby and all of her accessories while using the wrap to carry the baby doll.

Now I just have to think of something fun to make for a 1 year old...back to Pinterest I go.
