For the past 3 weeks I have been planning on going to a free sewing class at Joann's (2 free classes came with purchasing a sewing machine there). I had Joel's schedule all synced up to be home with Mia; I had the materials I needed all cut out and ironed; I had my bobbins locked and loaded; I had everything ready until 5 minutes before I was about to leave when I realized I never called to put my name down for the class. I quickly called the store to see if there was still room in the class.....and there wasn't. Needless to say I was in the mood to sew. SO, I decided to take my novice skillz and dive into something I needed (wanted) for our upcoming trip to Georgia: a fabric travel high chair. And if you don't look too closely at the stitches, I think I did alright! It will work perfectly for layovers in airports, visits to relatives, and will pack like a CHAMP. First of all, I got the awesome tutorial here. I altered it a bit by adding longer tie straps because I didn't feel like going with the velcro. Maybe I would change my mind if I did it all over again, but it still works great and I think it's even a tiny bit more toddler-proof with the tie in the back. For the material, I bought 12'' of quilting fabric for $3.60 after a 50% off coupon at Joann's. I cut the inside and longer ties' material from a sheet set I bought at Goodwill for $5.00, which turned out to be about $.25 worth of that. There's so much extra I could go The Sound of Music on that ish and make Mia some play clothes. I followed the tutorial step by step {plus added the longer straps}, and voila! If anyone has any great toddler travel tips, leave a comment! And have a great week! :) {UPDATE} After putting together the travel chair I realized it irritates one of my pet peeves: carriers / wraps / baby gear that has straps and pullies and arms and legs flying everywhere with no good compact way to store them or throw them in your bag. Does this make sense? Basically, I end up throwing this into my bag: Which I hate. So I decided to add a cute little toggle button and leather loop to the seat so I can wrap it up nice and secure. Um..next time I will work on the tiny detail they call "centering." But nonetheless -- Pet Peeve Solved! Now go check out the other great posts at the Inspire Me Please linkup at House of Rose!

I, too, saw THIS on This Mama Makes Stuff, and fell in love... I figured I'd get around to making one of my own at some point, but I was going to wait till she posted a tutorial (fingers crossed)... but then, this morning, I saw that Jill had posted THIS, so I used her measurements (roughly), and made one of my own from scraps: YAY! so, for those of you still waiting, here's a tute on how to make my version: You need a front piece that is 20" x 10", a connector piece that's 4" x 7" (I went a little longer on this than Jill did, because the gap between the seat and back on our chair seems higher than hers) , and a strap piece that is 6" x the width of your fabric (unless you want it shorter, don't bother measuring; it'll be between 40-45, depending on the manufacturer) Cut each piece out of 2 fabrics and 1 batting, and make a sandwich with batting on top of the two fabrics (right sides together) start with the smallest rectangle,the connector piece, make your sandwich, and then sew the two long sides, leaving the short sides open: here's a pic of the long sides after they've been sewn... (not sure why I took this shot, but I did, so here it is) Turn it right side out, and, just to make it look pretty and have a teeny bit more stability, edgestitch both long sides. The short sides can be left open (or closed, if you'd rather, they'll be hidden INSIDE the two larger pieces, so they don't matter) Make a pin sandwich of each of the larger rectangles, curving the corners as you sew (I suppose this is optional, if you like square corners). Leave a hole in the middle of one of the 10" sides on the front flap, and in the middle of a long side on the wrap piece. This is the hole for turning right side out, and for attaching the connector piece later. Turn it right side out, and before edgestitching, stick the connector piece in the hole. When you do your edgestitching, you will also be sewing in the connector piece! Here's a closeup, so you can see how the edgestitching closed the turning hole, and attached the connector piece... Once you've attached the connector piece to both pieces, and edgestitched all the way around both, all that remains is to sew on some hook'n'loop tape (aka: Velcro) Make sure you sew the tape on opposite sides so the wrap piece can wrap. I cut my tape about 12" long, and zigzagged the pieces down the middle of the wrap piece. That's a view of the reverse... (it's a tomato print, it seemed fitting to do a food print on a highchair.) Here it is on the chair, waiting for the baby: ...and folded up, with an invisible baby inside it: Here's the real baby inside it, happily eating oatmeal: She's a pretty happy camper in there, so I call this a success! There IS a lot of room in that super long strap, but it doesn't bother me, and if I had to go all the way around a chair, it would get used up pretty quickly. Of course, the seat might also be slightly less safe... Eh, leaving it long is just easier, and she might grow... someday... so long it stays.

We tend to travel with our family a few times a year. This time, before the holidays and next trip, I tried to get a head start on things that may make traveling easier. I came across this TUTORIAL for a travel high chair. In attempt to get my fabric stash down I brought out this vintage dog and cat print that I picked up at the thrift store awhile bag...there was a lot of it, so be prepared to see it again in a future post :) I also had a bit of leftover mustard fabric from a purse I made my sister over a year ago. It just happened to match perfectly. The only problem was the pattern called for quilted fabric. In an effort to use what I had, I decided to back the mustard fabric with batting and quilt it myself. Since I have no experience quilting I kept it simple. I simply drew a line down the center and then measured out 3 inch increments until I came close to the edge. I drew the lines in with chalk and sewed straight lines over them. In the next few shots you can see the error I made...I sewed the seat on the wrong side. Instead of sewing the connector piece to the short end, I accidentally attached it to the long end. This created a problem once you go to place a child in the seat. Luckily I saw the error before I traveled with the chair, removed the stitches and placed it on the correct side. It was a simple fix, but one that could have easily been avoided. I think this project is simple and quick but to be honest...I am currently traveling and didn't pack it, so I can't tell you how great it works. Maybe if I remember to pack it next time around I can post an update. :) Shannon

Olivia has out grown her high chair (continued to stand and wouldn't eat in it) and is now at the regular table-problem she is too tiny to see her food if she is sitting and she is so wiggly a phone book makes me nervous. She stands or sits and has fallen off a few time (one right on her head and I about had a heart attack). We've been trying to come up with the best solution and nothing has worked. I saw this idea on homemade by Jill awhile ago and finally made it. I like the idea because she can still sit at the table with us, she will be safe sitting on a book, and now she will be able to see her food without having to stand. Jill gives some instructions as to how she made it but its not a full tutorial so I thought I would share how I made mine. Also my measurements are slightly smaller than hers. Chairs vary so if yours has spaces further apart you will want to add some length to your straps. You need: a little less then 1/2 yard of 2 coordinating fabrics. Velcro (mine is 6" long) batting sewing machine and thread Start by cutting out your pieces -cut one from both fabrics and your batting strap- 6"x38" connector piece-5 1/2" x 4" base- 19"x10" It should look like this sandwich your pieces by placing fabrics right sides together and the batting on top. Pin together. Sew three sides of the connector piece (leave one of the short end open) Pull your fabric through and top stitch the two long sides. sandwich the strap pieces together (like the connector piece) mark where your connector piece will go (this will also be your opening for turning your fabric). Sew around your strap-curve your corners if you want. pull the fabric through place your connector piece in the opening and pin in place (make sure you fold down the edges of the strap). top stitch around the strap sewing the connector piece in place and close the opening. Sandwich and sew your base piece leaving an opening at the top (short side) for the connector piece. Pull fabric through, pin connector piece in place and top stitch around. pin your Velcro on each side of the straps . Sew in place. Its an easy project and Livy loves it. Lets hope the excitement lasts awhile. This is also perfect to take on trips.

So, my little bubby's on solids. Oh how time flies by! We have the super funky Ikea highchair, which looks pretty cool in our dining area, but it's not the most functional highchair for a 5 month old! That's where today's creation comes in. This is what we've been feeding Ava in, her beautiful pale pink Bright Stars bouncer. Well, beautiful until it has carrot stains all over the pastel fabric... I got the main gist of how to make this from a tutorial over at 'Sew Can do'. I wanted to use a laminated cotton for my project so it would be super easy to wipe all of the fun spills off. My only options either cost a small fortune, or were pretty darn ugly, so I set out to find a product that I could use to 'laminate' a fabric of my choice. I found a few products online, but none seemed to be available at Spotlight or Lincraft, so I headed to Gail's and managed to find a roll of fabric laminate. I'll be honest, I don't love the stuff, plus it cost $14 a metre, but I was set on getting this done in 1 day so I bought it and soldiered on! I used a beautiful fabric from the Moda range called 'flirt'. Not quite sure of this particular fabric name, but I thought it was gorgeous and so suitable as it has the red to match the high chair as well as my favourite green too!! Here's how I made my high chair cover Using newspaper, I drafted my pattern ensuring I included the back, sides and base I then ironed on the plastic laminate. I still have no idea if I did this correctly... I thought it may have been the type of material you peel off but that failed, so I left it on and hoped for the best! If you are using a similar material, make sure you place the plastic dull side against the right side of the fabric. Then iron on the wrong side of the fabric to fuse them together. I found it easier to use a really hot iron, but be careful as you may crinkle the plastic. I decided to use a plain cotton fabric for the backing as front fabric is quite pricey! Sandwich your fabric together as shown- Batting, front fabric and back fabric right sides facing, then batting again. I actually used 3 layers of batting as I wanted it to be fairly well filled, but all depends on the effect you're after. I can guarantee it'll be much easier to sew the less you have!! (I learnt that the hard way...) Sew all around the back shape leaving the top open for turing out. When complete, sew the top up with some bias tape-either store bought in a complimentary colour, or made out of the same fabric as I did. I then made some straps out of the same fabric, attached them to the top of the back piece, then added some press duds to keep it in place Here is my finished product!! I think Ava likes it....
