Pattern Description:
Collection of baby accessories

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
yes

Were the instructions easy to follow?
yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Like:
-embroidery friendly
-design of pockets (very clever, I think)
-easily assembled and sewn

Dislike:
-finished size (28" x 28") is almost too large to fit inside a diaper bag

Fabric Used:
print and pink cotton twills (pink is stretch because it's the only one I could find in the right color)

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Added embroidered applique (6" x 7")

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I would sew it again if I knew the recipient would use a pad this large. Right now I'm sewing a smaller changing pad for keeping in her diaper bag.

Conclusion:
The changing pad was an interesting project and would make a great gift personalized. Next time I'll add more embroidery on one of the sides that face outward once it's folded and velcroed. Due to the finished size, I'm thinking this might be a pad to keep in the car.
I also made the nursing cover from this pattern. Using boning to shape the peep area was kind of cool.
