Like most babies, Waverly does spit up quite a bit. In fact, I call her the "Spit Up Queen".
Because of the spit up, and the normal baby wetting accidents, Skye was putting a towel under her to change her diaper. Since extra laundry is pretty routine when it comes to having a baby in the house, we wanted to find another way to protect Skye's bed during feedings or during diaper changing to make it easier and produce less laundry.
I made her two waterproof pads that are washable. The top material is flannel fabric so it is nice and soft against the skin. There is a layer of diaper fabric in the center and the waterproof material is PUL fabric.
I put down the waterproof fabric, shiny side up (this is the part you want on the outside), then put the flannel fabric pretty side down and the diaper fabric on top of that. I sewed all the way around the rectangle making sure to back stitch at the beginning and the end, and left an opening to turn the fabric right side out. I did clip the corners to remove extra bulk and turned it right side out before top stitching all the way around again making sure that I caught the opening during the top stitching.
The waterproof washable pad was complete, could be used and reused over and over again.

See ya soon!
