high chair cover

I finally made a pattern for the high chair cover i needed to make (to ensure Ladybug didn't slide right out of the chair!) and... I give it a 6 out of 10.

I used some leftover fabric from a vintage Hawaiian dress for the front and a green-and-white polyester for the back. It was my first time to make a pattern, use batting (of any kind) and use bias tape. I feel like bias tape should be easier than it was for me. Do any of you have any tutorials or suggestions for using bias tape? 


oh, and it's also reversible. my favorite part. :-)

    I think it looks great! Bias tape is kind of tricky. I used biased tape on some purses and I'm still not sure if I'm doing it correct or if there's a better way. I think the made website talks about bias tape. But it might be more on how to make it. Either way I think you did a good job! I'm addicted to purses right now.

    She shows you the 'right' way and the cheater way to sew on bias tape. I cheat most of the time... becuase I am lazy. :)

    Looks to me like you did a great job!
