I have seen several diaper clutches and love the idea. Now that Liam is a little older, I don't really need to carry around a diaper bag. I'd love to carry around one of my beautiful purses again. While googling one day, I came across this beautiful Poopy Clutch. I can't take credit for the idea or tutorial, though. I found it here, I Still Love You. I did make a few adjustments however. I found a nice piece of grey vinyl, that looks like leather, in the remnant bin and then wanted to add a pop of color with a pretty liner fabric. I couldn't find the button stud that was used for the closure but I found something else in the purse aisle at Jo Ann Fabrics.
Here's how I made my diaper clutch. I used Wonder Under (follow the directions exactly and your vinyl shouldn't melt) to fuse the liner fabric and the vinyl together. Then I outlined the template found at ISLY and cut it out. Here is how it looked after it was cut:
And here is a close up of the clasp that I used. It's a silver toggle clasp.
I used the stencil to mark the place for the clasp on the top of the clutch and then I traced the toggle and cut out the hole for the hardware.
Then I used the stencil to mark the location of the toggle and that was also used to close the 2 sides and bottom of the clutch.
And here is the finished product. I think it turned out great and I can't wait to go to our play group on Tuesday so I can throw it in my bag.
I have 3 diapers size 4 diapers tucked in and there is still room for me to add my travel wipe case and a disposable changing pad.
Since I have enough fabric to make another clutch, I thought I could make one and give it away to a lucky follower. I will choose a winner, via random.org, on Monday, April 18th. In order to be considered, you must be a follower and leave me a comment. You will get an extra entry if you share this on your blog (let me know if you do). Good Luck!
