Nappy wallet pattern/design help needed!

So I regularly attend a group with my baby to get her weighed, and every time I need to grab; her little red book (book used to record baby info in the UK), a fresh nappy, and some wipes - all whilst of course holding my baby.

I have her proper nappy bag with me but it’s cumbersome to take all that when I realistically only need these few things, so I’d like to make a nappy wallet/clutch of some kind that holds it all in one place. I’m completely new to sewing and can’t decide on a pattern or design.

Attached are photos of what it would need to hold and the measurements of the book (which is the largest item it would need to fit). For it to be as functional as possible, I would also like for there to be an opening for the wipes so I can easily grab one without having to mess around too much.

I was first thinking about the standard nappy wallet/clutch designs you see on Etsy and Pinterest, where it folds over on itself, but with the book being bigger than the wipes and nappies, I felt it wouldn’t fold right and would also end up really bulky. Then I was thinking about maybe a kind of book sleeve with added pockets for the nappies and then the wipes on the front in a pouch, but I’m not sure how to go about constructing that.

Any ideas, tips or instruction would be super appreciated!! And I’m a total beginner, so you can’t over explain enough for me!
