    Hey Julie,

    Just found some awesome tutorials recently on this girl Angie's blog.

    Here is the link to one of her tutorials for a fabric covered diaper wipes case. So fun and easy. I would modify it slightly by putting French gimp around the edges instead of ribbon, but it is all personal preference.

    Have fun!
