Shopping Cart Cover

You know those yucky shopping cart handles and high chairs that they have in restaurants that babies like to teeth on?  Well they're probably the reason that I didn't let Wyatt sit in the Walmart carts until he was 8 months old!  I didn't want to find out if he liked to chew on them or not.  I found a great pattern online to make a simple shopping cart cover.

This is the one I made.

I used the basic idea from the pattern and just altered it a bit.  The link has a basic and a more custom fitted cover, I did the simple because I wanted it to fit in lots of different carts and high chairs.  Also, I did not put any batting in it as was suggested because I wanted it to fold up small enough to fit in my diaper bag or the bag that I haven't made yet to carry it in :).  I used 2 layers of home decor fabric so it was still plenty thick without the batting.  I will post pics as soon as I remember to take my camera to Walmart to get a picture of it in action!  For now, you can find the link here.  

Soon...

Seriously, I know this is bad.  I start a blog, and then, not much of a surprise, don't keep it up.  But I noticed that in April I actually got a comment (thanks, Jewel!) from someone, so I thought maybe I'll try to be better at it.  Plus, my awesome sister-in-law Angie gave me a shout out on her blog, and I feel like I've failed her!  And I'm also gunning for a spot on her favorite links list, and it's not gonna happen if I don't smarten up!  I recently made a shopping cart cover, and I'll post pics and the link with the instructions very soon.  It was super easy and has been so great to have.
