Be the first one to write a review.For the last week I have felt very under the weather. Today I finally feel like myself again! It is so refreshing to spend time sewing rather than lay on the couch feeling miserable! I was reminded by a friend this morning that I was supposed to do a tutorial for the infant seat canopy so that was the first thing I accomplished this morning. I wish posting about it was the last thing I had to do today but I have to get started on packing for our upcoming trip to Brooklyn. Oh well, at least I am being productive. It's a nice change! This tutorial is for an infant seat and while they are all the same basic design, sizes vary by brand so please measure your seat carefully before starting this project to ensure a proper fit! -one yard of material for the exterior of the canopy

-one yard of material for the interior. -optional- two large buttons for the straps or make fabric bows for an embellishment Cut the exterior and interior fabric into 33"x41.5" rectangles. With the excess material cut two 8"x2.5" strips of both fabrics for a total of four strips of fabric. Fold the rectangles in half and half again so all the corners are lined up. I have both the interior and exterior fabrics stacked so there is a total of eight layers. Using a bowl or a plate as a guide remove the corner from the rectangles. I didn't even mark it, just used the rotary cutter against the bowl. Pin rectangles, right sides together. Sew all the way around leaving an 8" opening on one end. Turn the canopy right side out and press. Close to the edge, top stitch all the way around the canopy (This also closes up 8" opening). I used white thread on top and yellow in the bobbin. To make the straps: with right sides together, sew three sides of the 8"x2.5" strips leaving one short end open.

Turn right side out and press.Buy Used Furniture In College Station Tx Fold in raw edges of the open end. Black And White Vinyl Flooring UkSew all the way around the strap.Window Cleaning Price Utah Ready to sew on the Velcro. Cut a piece of Velcro (1.75"). Sew Velcro pieces to opposite sides and ends of the straps.Now you can sew on your buttons or bows if you choose. Find placement for straps. Mine are 12" in from the sides and 17" down from the top. I recommend putting your canopy on the seat to find the proper placement. Sew the straps on. 1.5"x 2" square and an X in the middle for re-enforcement. I love these big yellow buttons! Ready for a baby! This tutorial is for personal use only please.

The canopy probably takes about two hours to make. If you make one I would love to see it! The fabric is Airplanes on Blue by M'Liss sold at Hancock Fabric but seems to be discontinued.DIY Car Seat Cover I was just waiting to find the perfect fabric to do this project, and I found it! Here’s how to make your own car seat cover: (But first, if you are a sewing beginner and need help, I recommend this sewing ebook.) 1 yard each of two coordinating fabrics 6″ of a third coordinating fabric 2 1/2″ of a fourth coordinating fabric Car Seat Cover Instructions Cut the 2 main fabric pieces to be about 41″ x 36″. Sew right sides together leaving a little space for turning. Notch corners, press seams open. Turn right side out and press edges. Edgestitch around the entire thing. Fold the third and fourth coordinating fabric pieces in half and cut off the fold so you have 4 pieces (2 of each fabric). For the 6″ strap, press in half (picture 2) and then fold the raw edge in to the center and press (picture 3).

For the 2 1/2″ strap, press the edges to the center. I used a bias tape maker to get the first fold (picture 4) and then pressed the other edge to meet (picture 6). With the raw edges of the wider strap facing up and the raw edges of the narrow strap facing down, lay the narrow strap on top of the wide one and top stitch into place, tucking the ends inside and edge stitching the ends. Sew the straps onto the main piece. Cutting out the fabric for this project is actually more time consuming than sewing it together. The sewing is super easy and anyone can do it! These car seat covers are great for winter or summer weather, can double as a blanket, and are just so precious! Once again, if you need sewing help then get the sewing 101 ebook here.
