A changing mat

Has anyone else noticed that the portable changing mats you buy are somewhat on the small side? Great for a newborn, but once you get to 6 months, all that fits on there is half a bum cheek. Not ideal for any poo-splosions....

I needed a new one, and nothing much ever seemed to be available, so making one was the solution!

I bought some waterproof fabric in a colourful print, put a layer of old fleece (to absorb any accidents, and make it bit softer on Little Girl's back) in the middle, and sewed it together with a bit of brightly coloured bias binding. Lovely.

And it rolls up to a tiny size, so fits in our pacapod without any problems.
