Changing Pad Cover

I was given a contoured changing pad by my brother and sister-in-law.  It only needs a cover to make it complete.  I have seen a cover pattern on Pinterest.com but it was for the changing pad that only has contoured sides, not the ends as well.  So I made my own by taping together advertiser pages to make a big sheet, then wrapped the paper over the changing pad like wrapping a present.  Where the corners overlapped I traced the folds to make the shape of the piece.  To make it an official pattern I had to retrace it onto another piece of paper adding a 1/2 inch seam allowance on all sides.  I will try to make a downloadable pdf file for my adoring fans and fellow DIY-ers, but someone will have to teach me how first. 

 

For the love of God, I finally finished.  I was stalled - out of frustration.  The fabric I was going to use got cut in half - by me - prior to making the pattern.  I thought I would get two covers out of it, but then made this nifty pattern and found that none of my fabric was large enough to use with the pattern.  TWO LARGE DRAWERS OF FABRIC, AND NONE LARGE ENOUGH FOR THIS PATTERN.  I'd had enough, so I waited and waited, for no reason at all it seems.  Then I just sewed the two pieces back together and finished the project!  Victory is mine!

 

The top view has the slightly noticeable seem going across it.  On the bottom I used elastic 3/4's of the way around and in back where the straps secure to the changing pad to the dresser, I removed a portion so that the straps can get through.  The fabric is a soft-fuzzy-white.  The fur made it hard to be precise in the cutting and sewing, but also hard to see the imperfections, so it was a draw.
I still need to make another and I'll choose a soft fabric with a shorter pile, like minky fleece. That will make it easier to follow the pattern and sew.
