Diaper Clutch & Wipe Case

Xavery's is the pink one. Sanitizer also fits in the clutch.


I gave this green one to Janell

This blue one I gave to Amy. I used a cute elastic ribbon across the wipe case on this one.


Great Baby gift. I made on of these diaper Clutches for Xavery. I am always just needing the diapers and wipes, NOT the whole diaper bag for quick trips. This turned out great. Also when you have your diaper bag, it fits in great and the diapers and wipes are all organized and easy to find.

I found this tutorial over at Make it and love it. I found the diaper clutch tutorial (HERE)and did this for the measurements, yet the tutorial for the electronic cozy (HERE) to sew the insides together was a little easier instructions. I added a strap to use for a hand or to hook it to something like a stroller handle, etc. It holds 2-3 diapers and the wipe case.

I just used 2 quarter flats, One for the outside and one for the inside,For the two I am giving away. I did buy mine by the yard,only needed 1/4 of two different fabrics. I am going to try to make a matching changing pad and use the laminated cover for fabric. I am excited to try to use it!!

banana cookies

I got this recipe in a text from my sister in law. I only got the ingredients and the measurements, Yet I made them tonight and they turned out great:)


Banana Cookies
3/4 cup brown Sugar
3/4 cup shortening
1 egg
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp banana extract
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups flour
2 ripe bananas (peeled)

Mix sugar, egg, shortening, and extract together in electric mixer, until well blended. Add bananas, then add all the dry ingredients. Mix on med speed until well blended. The dough is more of an consistency of a cake mixture. Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough on to an un-greased cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes @ 350.

For the frosting

6 TBS Brown Sugar
4 TBS Canned Milk (evaporated milk.)
4 TBS butter (soft)
about 1 cup powdered sugar, mix about 1/4 cup at a time and check the thickness. I used exactly one cup.

mix all ingredients together, except powdered sugar, once mixed well, then add powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time.

Frost on cooled cookies.

Makes about 2 1/2 dozen (for me, Mine were a little big!) If you double the recipe the frosting would be perfect for the doubled recipe. I had a lot of frosting left over.
