How to make a baby car seat cover / tent / canopy

[@Maigali55]

Thank you for your tutorial and pattern :0) I have made many canopies for friends. I put a little spin on my canopy. I use snaps on the sides instead of Velcro and a 22 inch zipper on the middle of the canopy for easier baby access. Thanks again.

Hello Mai Where do you get the pattern?

[@janeywright]

Great tutorial, I love how you walked us through all the steps even your pattern. Keep up the amazing work. I plan on making these for my sister and one for every holiday as well.

[@purplekrys1851]

I was going to spend money on a PDF pattern. Thank you SO much. You're so awesome!

[@xashleyandleex]

I am in the process of making this cover now! It's one of my very first sewing projects. :) So far, so good. I could not find cording so I made my own with some thicker string and quilt binding. Getting ready to sew the cording on to the top piece of fabric now. Wish me luck! :) Have found your instructions very easy to follow so far. Thanks!

[@FleeceFun]

Christa - my recommendation would be to try making the "basic fleece Pants" or the "Horned Hat"... Just to get your feel wet. Then I say go for it! Let me know how your project turns out! Good luck!

[@ShannonFabrics]

Love that this keeps the handles exposed for carrying the car seat.

[@lilyashua]

Love the video , finally something that doesnt slip and its so cute will try it thank you so much :)

[@YaDyRRa]

I am very excited to have found your design and have started this project. Thank you for the video tutorial, it helps a lot to be able to see and not just read the steps.

[@FleeceFun]

YaDyRRa You're welcome! I'm a visual learner too - that's why I love video. :)

[@annebantillo8345]

Thank you for sharing this video... Can't wait for more videos and tutorial... Hope you'll have more videos and projects for babies...

[@hanzelscarlet]

Loved your channel!!!!! My mother always sew and I always watch her.Now is my turn to sew too.:)

[@1989Sassi1989]

Thank you so much for your Video. It was really well made and Easy to follow. My sister in Law is having a Baby and I was looking for a nice Handmade Gift. This will probably be it paired with a matching blanket. Thank you :)

[@lizzers00]

This is a great tutorial. Thanks!

[@saphire778]

Fantastic tutorial. Thank you so much!

[@FleeceFun]

Got my finger's crossed for you!

[@alicacrockett6444]

This is wonderful I'm gonna try it!!!! Thanks!!!

[@TheKcrazy14]

Angel My darling that's for the reply. I was using my new laptop for some reason it wouldn't download so I used my other laptop it worked. I downloaded that one and the other one with the window that one is a little harder to put togeather your right its like a puzzle but ill get it Thank u for the download that's very sweet of you ....

[@FleeceFun]

@mimasnryan619 You will need to cut it out twice - 1 for the exterior and 1 for the interior. So you will place it on the fold, cut 1 and then place it on the fold and cut 1 more. Good luck and please feel free to ask more questions.

[@Therian._.kitty101]

I love it

[@cindythomley4286]

You stated the design was porportional and the longer side is the top but is that the front or the back ? I am thinking it goes towards the front of the carrier, but just wanted to make sure before I monogrammed on it.

[@denisehrycyk6540]

If I don’t have access to the car seat (it’s a gift) do you have suggestions for the placement of straps and Velcro to close it around it? Thank you

[@itzianasanchez5152]

I love ur videos ur a great teacher!

[@FleeceFun]

Thanks! ;)

[@FleeceFun]

You could - but using fleece with flannel would be much easier ( and cuter) to work with.

[@Pochuchy]

Hi Angel! i love this pattern! i have made a couple for friends. i wanted to ask you if you could give me an idea on how i can make it with a slit in the front for an opening but also maybe with a closure to keep it closed. THANK YOU!

[@FleeceFun]

+Faby Ruiz ok.... What I would do is make the slot like the slits that are on the sides of the cover. To close it I would make tabs that snap or button Accross the slit. Hope that helps!

[@madeli77]

The fabric I am using has a design that I want to make sure is facing the correct way. Right now I am assuming that the #1 on the top of the pattern covers the back of the carseat and #13 and #14 covers the front (where baby sits) Is this correct?

[@nevrslipnalwaystripn8529]

Any chance this can be done with one yard each for the top and bottom fabric

[@KORTEGA1973]

i have a quick silly question i think.... after i put together all the pattern pieces and i fold the pattern in half on side is slittly longer then the other is that the way it is suppose to be or should it be even on both ends when folded in half?????

[@vsmole]

Hi Angel. I had a question for you. I'm making one of these for my lil one & im only doing it 1 color. On ur vdo u make it with 2 different colors so im confused on how to make mine with just one color since i got the fold. Please help!! Thank you..

[@FleeceFun]

Yes that's correct

[@jennyperson3217]

Do you have a video for how to do the window portion of the cover? I downloaded the pattern from fleecefun.com and have it all together (love it btw) but do not know how to finish off the flap :(

[@bethanpoole8161]

So 1 1/3 yards long ways what about width? Would 1.5m by 1m be enough?? Xx

[@cristinareyes2793]

For some reason I am trying to open your blog for the pattern but it is taking forever to open any suggestions please Thank you

[@estherrobson7688]

I would love to make this for my first grand child but I can’t download the pattern. Please help

[@KryptoKat96]

I can’t find the pdf on your site

[@Ms.B405]

I'm looking for a car seat cover and went to the site and they only have nursing covers am i doing something wrong?

[@FleeceFun]

Hi Brittani - try using the link in the description and see if you have better luck.

[@FleeceFun]

@sguishy89 @mimasnryan619 It's just my way of doing it - it's not necessary. It's the easiest way for me. You can just as easily do it with a standard foot.

[@Ms.B405]

Nevermind got it

[@nina-jeanettedalenevensen7188]

How does the baby breathe in there?? Why cover the baby completely?

[@izafigueroa6100]

I followed the link to the free pdf and says page not found. .. is pattern no longer available?

[@cindyschenkel4580]

is Wrights piping the same as using this cording you are showing?

[@FleeceFun]

Yes that is the same piping I use in the tutorial. :)

[@hinrimichel2882]

[@dezzeraemichaels3385]

I am making this for the first time for a friend... I don't have a car seat to match up. What would you recommend I do?

[@FleeceFun]

+Dezzerae Michaels Place them similarly to where I place them in the example and hope for the best! :)

[@dezzeraemichaels3385]

+Fleece Fun thanks!

[@blessedbeyondmeasures7532]

ummm,you can just lay a regular blanket over the seat also.

[@lucywilkinson2375]

hi is there any way you could actually print and assemble a copy of the pattern and post it to me please, id be willing to pay, i dont have a printer so i cant print at home. thankyou

[@evitaevita98]

Lucy Wilkinson Why don't you go to the library to print it?

[@kimberlybrooks6434]

Does anyone know how to make the covers that go over the part the baby lays on? I have a car seat but want to change it up.

[@absynthefaerie]

Kimberly Brooks I know this was asked a few years ago but I want to answer it incase someone else is curious too... it is unsafe to change the car seat cover yourself because the fabric is fire resistant, and you don’t want to have a pattern meant for a different car seat because it won’t fit correctly. You are 100% better off contacting the manufacturer with the make and model of your seat and seeing if they have any other covers to purchase. There are some people and shops that make car seat covers (like The Canopy Shop) but as I said you don’t know if the fabric is correctly treated nor if it will fit your seat because there is no such thing as a universal cover.

[@pattytexas25]

Love it!!! How much do you sell them for??

[@FleeceFun]

Thanks Patty! I'm sorry I don't have a shop at this time. :( But you are welcome to find someone one and have them use the pattern.

[@conniel.9988]

Hello! I cannot for the life of me get this pattern to download....can you email it to me? I am dying to make it!! THANKS!

[@sexiredd127]

how did you sew the button on, using the machine???

[@FleeceFun]

+sexiredd127 you can get a button foot for you machine. Basically you set your machine to a very tight satin stitch and adjust the stitch width to work with the holes. Sew on to desired tightness. I like to hand tie the loose threads.

[@sexiredd127]

Thanks!

[@85babycakes]

How would I add a window ?

[@FleeceFun]

I have another pattern and tutoiral on my website that has a window. Just check out fleece fun to find it.

[@bethanpoole8161]

Went to get the pattern and it's no longer there :-( xx

[@donnawalczak3364]

HELP - I tried to download you pattern but a hijacker attached to the download and it took me days to remove the problem can you email me the pattern for the baby car seat cover/tent/canopy.

[@FleeceFun]

I am not sure how you did this - I just checked the download and it's working properly. It sounds like you accidentally clicked on an ad - please see the "Start Here" video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4Kkf5uKiL6ZmNE . To download the pattern click on the pattern envelope located below the "Download the pattern" section. The file is not infected - my site is regularly scanned. Make sure you have Adobe PDF Reader on your computer.

[@sguishy89]
