Traveling with a baby means an extra bag to tote. If that bag is not organized, changing baby can be quite a challenge. I have designed three original pieces to go into your diaper bag. They are lightweight and can come in quite handy.
First, I designed a pad to lay your baby on for changing his/her diaper. A double layer of double crochet crocheted together to make a comfy and clean spot to do the change and rolls up to fit in your diaper bag. Made bigger, this would make a great pad to lay on the ground for baby to take a nap on in a park or anywhere you would like to use it. It could be tied to the outside of your diaper bag.
Second, I crocheted two sizes of bags to carry wet wipes and clean clothes or wet clothes, whichever the case may be. They are waterproof because the bags are lined with Ziploc bags. You could make several of these to carry anything that might leak in your diaper bag also.
I made these very basic and purposely did not decorate them because I really could not decide which design I wanted to use and wanted to get these directions out to you all as soon as possible. But here are some ideas I am toying with: crocheted hearts that would be put on before the bag was sewn together or butterflies or stars or just big circles. These are machine washable, but I would not put the bags in the dryer as, if you have a hot dryer, the bags could melt. These also would make a wonderful and unique baby shower gifts.

Slide quart size Ziploc bag inside of crocheted sleeve. With white thread and sharp needle, tack the bottom to corners. Once you have them secure, tack again on each side right under the Ziploc track and in the center of the front and back. You will do the front and back with the bag open so you don't sew it shut.

This is a nice gift to include with a diaper bag and the dimensions can be made to fit rolled up into the new diaper bag or it can be used as a stand alone gift.
