DIY Changing Pad Cover

So excited to get more sewing experience. I finally got up the courage to try a changing pad cover. There are wonderful tutorials all over the place, and this would have been even easier if I had chosen some stretchy material... all simple straight lines to sew. I wanted to use the remnants of yellow and gray cotton that I've been using through-out the baby room, so I needed to do a little structured sewing too.




From this angle you can see the four different fabrics I used.

My first time ever trying something structured. I placed my cover inside-out on the pad and pined the corners where I should sew. I'm terrible with following a pattern, but this common sense pin-and-sew is working out pretty well :)
