Highchair Redo

Finally, I got around to replacing our old Peg Perego Highchair Cover.

As you can tell after 3 kids, it was major yucko!

The replacement covers are $60, so my options were to either by a new highchair for that same amount or make one.  Since I love how this highchair reclines and has a 5 point harness I decided to make a new one.  I found a tutorial online here that inspired me to cut up the old one a create myself a pattern.

I found this darling laminated alphabet fabric at Piper's Quilts for $20 a yard. 

I love the idea of the laminated fabric because the covers I found on Etsy were made out of cotton fabric. I wanted something more wipeable.

I had some of the materials on hand so the total I spent on this was $30.   

I loved the way it turned out!

Not having a true pattern to follow was a little tricky but it was also fun to figure out.

It took me three tries to get the binding right.  But once I figured it out the rest went pretty smoothly.

Some parts would look a lot better if I had an industiral sewing machine.

But all in all it's suits the purpose well and it's cute.  

Frankie enjoys it too.

I know he's wearing a girl bib.  But when its your fourth, anything will do.  At least he's wearing a bib.
