Tula removable panel

*safety disclaimer- I am not responsible for any damage or injury caused by doing this!* 

Note that that's out of the way! Here's how I dress up my tula! 
Cut out 13x13 square and serge or finish edges

Update: add a top stitch before applying snaps

Lay on tula and you can either pin it or use paper clips to hold it in place. Mark where you want to add your snaps against where they are on the tula.
Add snaps. Keep them hidden by not putting it through outside layer.
Do a single stitch (not on outside layer) to keep the fabric from flying around 
**update**
i added a topstitch around the entire panel and it looks better. see through thread is a good option im going to use next
And there you have it! This is for personal use... if you want a more professional look you can add another layer of plan fabric to the back. But summer is just around the corner here and I'd rather keep the added fabric to a minimum!
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions!

Here's the kam snaps on the tula itself. I used glossy because that's what I had but I think matte would be even less noticeable. 
I'm not a fan of the way this fabric falls.... 
As you can see it doesn't hug up against it tight enough... this is a suede fabric.

I didn't have that issue when using cotton! It snuggled up against it pretty fabulously! I'll be sticking with cotton from now on for my panels!

  1. Is this for a standard size tula?

  2. Yes it is.. if you have a toddler you should just measure your "panel" area and add enough to fold down
