20 years ago

See Link...

I know they are padded, but would really love to find a template or pattern directions so I don't have to buy one and dismantle it to find out how.

Simplicity make a pattern for the large/Nursery size ones but I haven't been able to find anything on this size.

thanks for any help!!

    I have made them. They aren't hard to make, didn't need any instructions.
    Used the Huggies wipes in the take along container. Layed it down and drew a pattern of the top and the bottom. Cut one out exact size and cut one out of 1/4" bigger all the way around.
    That would be two patterns for the top and two for the bottom. The one that is the exact size I used to cut a piece of felt. I used felt under the fabric. Did not like the thickness of batting. Felt works just fine.
    Did that for top and bottom. The larger one is cut from the fabric. Used heat and bond to adhere the fabric to the felt lining. The felt will be 1/4" smaller than the fabric.
    Brushed Tacky Glue on the container and used the glue gun around the edges. The fabric will go down over the edge just a bit. Make sure that edge is glued down. When both the top and bottom have been covered glue your trim all around the edge. You will see how far down it needs to go cause there is a little lip on the container. You want the trim or rick rack or whatever to cover that edge of the fabric. You can glue a bow on top or whatever you want.
    The gal selling them on Ebay is not really making much money on them.
    The wipes in the container are $1.39. It takes about 1 1/2yd of trim and then the fabric and felt. By the time she buys the supplies and pays Ebay fees she is sure not gonna get rich.
    One will take me about 15 minutes to make, so they are fast.
    If you have any questions just let me know and I'll try to help.
    You won't have any problems tho cause they are super easy!
    Here is one I made for a friend.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to write that out for me!!! Your work is beautiful!!! I love pink and green together(it's the 80's preppy in me..lolol)
    I'm in the process of moving right now and hope to be settled in by the week of the 4th. So maybe I can sit down and practice a bit.
    I have some great fabrics I got from a lady on freecycle and these would be perfect gifts for friends and friends of friends.

    thank you again!!!
