mamacloth!

start with fleece (green), microfiber (blue), flannel (white w/ stars), waterproof sheet (yellow), and velcro.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

cut out your pieces -

the waterproof, microfiber and flannel should all be the same. 9" x 3 1/2" with the center cut down to about 2 1/2".

1 piece of microfiber - 2"x6"

2 pieces of flannel - 2"x4"

1 small strip of velcro

1 piece of fleece - 11"x5 1/2"



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

with a medium zig-zag, stitch the small piece of microfiber to the center of the big piece



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

with a long straight stitch, baste the waterproof to the microfiber.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

with a small straight stitch, stitch, turn, and top stitch close to the edge the 2 small flannel pieces. these will be the wings.







-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

match up 2 wings that are closest in size (if you are making a bunch) and with a small zigzag, stitch on the velcro.





------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

with a long straight stitch, baste the flannel to the waterproof side.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

with a medium zigzag, sew the wings to the center of the pad to the flannel/waterproof side. sew with the microfiber side up so you can see the edge more easily. trim.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

lay the pad with the microfiber side down on the fleece with the fuzzy side down. curl the fleece up and over on the short ends. zigzag down with a medium stitch.





-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

trim the sides of the fleece so they curve in to be the same shape as the pad. curl the edges over and stitch down with a medium zigzag.
