Snappy for nappies

Our youngest is still in nappies but she's not at the point where we need to lug an entire nappy bag around, just the basics for an on the run change if needed.

So I thought I' make a nappy wallet that holds what I need and fits in my handbag, and leave the big bag at home.


After hunting around a bit on the web for tutorials I couldn't find anything that was what I wanted so I ended up just winging it and making up my own, which if you read my post about being a 'maker' or a 'creator' you'd know was a big deal for me!

It has two pockets, one fits a travel pack of wipes, the other side holds a nappy, disposal bags and a small pack of antibacterial wipes, in case you're not near a tap and want to clean yourself up after completing the job!


Everything tucks away and then you fold it over and snap it closed.

Compact and easy.

They've been a bit of a hit with friends, so I have made five of them so far, with another one planned in the next day or so.

Would it be handy for you? Are you interested in a tutorial to make these?

Let me know - I can photograph it next time if you say the word.

  9. They look great Karen! I wouldn't need a tutorial, but I will have to make one to take overseas I think. I do not want to be lugging a nappy bag when out during the day.

  12. This is brilliant, I would love a tutorial! I have been trying to think what to make to make the whole nappies in the handbag not so intrusive and this is just perfect. I'm thinking of making a little zipper snack pouch as well for the handbag for those all important snacks!

  18. hi karen! what a great idea. we never bothered with the big nappy bag, i used a little japanese bento/ lunch bag (like a zippered pouch) but this little pouch would have been even better! handbag space already being at a premium i think a tutorial like this would be very popular.
