How Do You Make Umbrella Stroller Covers?
Umbrella strollers are convenient to take along to trips to the mall or grocery stores. They fit well in the trunk of the car, but that means putting them in there with a spare tire or the kids’ dirty football gear. Making a cover for the stroller will keep it clean and ready for baby the next time you need to use it. Making the cover from a washable fabric will even make it easier to keep everything clean. Measure the stroller’s height (folded) and add four inches. Measure all the way around the outside of the stroller when folded and add two inches. Transfer those measurements to a piece of brown wrapping paper and cut out a pattern piece. Now measure the bottom of the stroller while folded to make a square bottom piece. Add one inch to each measurement for seams. Cut this out of brown paper also. Sew your first piece down the long side with the right sides of the fabric together. Leave the last inch and a half open. On the closed end of the long piece, sew on your bottom piece. With
