Well, I'm back to sewing again!  I have a couple baby showers coming up, and I figure the most appropriate and useful gift I could make is the portable diaper changing station.  This is a circular changing pad that has pockets around the front of it which can hold a few diapers, wipes, diaper rash ointment, and even a toy or two.    I found the instructions for making the diaper changing station at Patterns2Go.com.   The instructions are very easy to follow, and I know the gift will be appreciated.
