Tutorial: Carseat Canopy

I hope I don't put anybody out of business by posting this. These are so easy to make, and I've had a few people asking for instructions, so here you go! I hope they make sense... let me know if they don't, okay?

  1. How funny you should post this-I literally made on last night & haven't sewn the straps on yet because I was neervous about placement. I was thinking I'd hit target and measure. =) Beautiful & easy!

  5. Brilliant tutorial. Much easier to follow than most with real pictures. I just made a canopy (so simple), but I skipped the invisible stitching and just took care of those small areas with the topstitch. Thanks for sharing!!

    did your one yard per side take into account the rectangles you cut out to attach to the top?

  14. Great idea Christy !!! Only one thing to suggest.... sew the Velcro onto the tabs BEFORE attaching them to the cover....it's a lot easier than juggling the whole cover !! =)
