[Handmade] A roundup of ideas for diaper pouches and wipes holders (1–10)
Laminated fabric diaper pouch

Here’s an idea for a diaper pouch made with laminated fabric.
It’s easy to forget to close the wipes lid properly, or to set the pouch down in the restroom to wash your hands and end up getting it wet.
But if you make it with laminated fabric, it’s waterproof, so you don’t have to worry about that! This pouch is sized to hold 4–5 size L diapers plus a pack of wipes.
The construction is basic: sew a zipper onto the fabric, stitch it into a tube, create gussets, and sew it together.
Give it a try!
[Drawstring type] diaper pouch

Here’s a cute diaper pouch idea where the diaper compartment is a drawstring bag.
To make it, sew two bags of different heights and stitch them together at the bottom so the larger bag sits on the inside.
The outer bag has a zippered pocket that can hold baby wipes, letting you use them directly from there.
You can also tuck a handkerchief or tissues in the space between the two bags, so it holds more than it looks.
Drawstrings can seem tricky to open and close, but this one uses a cord stopper to cinch it tight instead of tying, making it easy to use.
[Bandana] Simple Diaper Pouch

Here’s a simple bandana pouch idea that I’d love people who want to make something by hand but don’t have much time to try.
You can finish this pouch with just four straight seams! First, fold the bandana in half, place fusible interfacing between the layers, and press with an iron from the top.
Sew a zipper along the folded (looped) edge, then sew the back side as well.
Fold it in half and attach the zipper.
After that, sew the sides and the bottom together, turn the fabric right side out, and you’re done! If you want to add gussets, sew the two bottom corners into triangles.
Large Pouch with Handle

Let me share an idea for a diaper pouch with handles that you can use like a bag.
This one has a large capacity that fits four big-size diapers and a pack of wipes.
If you add D-rings, you can also use it as a shoulder bag.
Since you want to keep both hands free when caring for a baby, being able to wear it on your shoulder is really helpful.
First, make two pieces by sewing handles onto the pocket fabric, then sew them onto both sides of the outer fabric folded in half.
Sew the zipper onto the outer fabric, place it right sides together with the lining, and sew.
Create gussets so it forms a bag shape.
Turn the fabric right side out, close the opening, and you’re done!
Box pouch with lining

Here’s an idea for a pouch that holds four size-L diapers and a pack of baby wipes.
There’s a pocket on the inside lining, so you can also tuck in items like plastic bags for used diapers.
It also has a handle on the outside, making it convenient to hang on a stroller or use for quick outings.
First, make the pocket and sew it onto the lining.
Then, sew the outer and lining fabrics right sides together while attaching the zipper and handle, and create the gusset.
Finally, turn the fabric right side out, close the opening, and you’re done!
A pouch for storing baby wipes

At first glance, this looks like a pouch with a pocket, but when you open the pocket flap, there’s actually a hole.
You can put baby wipes in there and use them directly.
It’s large enough to hold 4–5 big-size diapers, so the capacity is more than enough! First, sew the outer and lining fabrics together to make the pouch, then sew the pocket and flap on top.
The hole section might look tricky, but it’s surprisingly simple: layer two pieces of fabric, sew them in the shape of the flap, cut out the inside, and turn the fabric right side out.
It’s a great idea that reduces the hassle of taking wipes out of the pouch, so give it a try if you like!
Wet wipes pouch

Let’s make a pouch that perfectly fits wet wipes! We’ll use faux leather for this.
First, measure the width of the wet wipes and the surrounding dimensions with a tape measure.
Mark those measurements on the faux leather, draw a line down the center, and cut.
You should now have two pieces of faux leather of the same size; cut one of them in half and sew on a zipper.
On the other full piece, cut an opening for dispensing the wipes, then sew it together with the piece that has the zipper.
If you want to add gussets, fold the top and bottom of both sides inward and then sew them.
Finally, attach the flap, and you’re done!
