Shopping Cart Cover

I finished my 2nd cover and I Love it! It looks way better than my first prototype for Madam N. I hope Madam K likes it :) I made it with Hello Kitty print on the top and a hot pink print on the bottom for her.



I deviated from the original pattern (great home made pattern by the way at:
I used 2 layers of extra thick batting, omitted the leg flaps, used the quick release belt material for the toy loops, added a front pocket (in addition to the side ones also with loops) instead of the front toy loop and gave it a square pillow instead of two round ones. Looks like I'll be known for the cover gifts from now on :)


This other one with butterflys is my first prototype. I think the print is beautiful. I should have used more batting on this one so it wouldnt be as floppy and maintain its shape better like the Hello Kitty one.






I use it on high chairs, and shopping carts. I have not tried it on public swings yet but I know it will also work.

I saw your post online regarding this cover and I thought I'd check it out. What a GREAT JOB!I love your first one. It's beautiful. I'd love to find out where you bought the fabric and what it's called (or maybe a description of it(type of fabric, type of design..etc..)). Thanks for the lead on that website. i want to make sooo much. I want ot make leather shoes for everyone for Christmas. We'll see!
