From the 5am bottle (yes, we need to get rid of that) to breakfast to lunch to doing “homework” (i.e. The high chair is not just furniture or kid gear…it’s part of our life. And it is awesome.ĭisclosure: the pictures of this Fisher-Price SpaceSaver High Chair were taken during my son’s nap…ironic…because this high chair saves space…and nap time saves my sanity □ Guys, this highchair is half the size and all the function. Which is why I was thrilled to try the new Fisher-Price SpaceSaver High Chair. Like many, my eating area (also known as our dining room, homework room, art area, and central-hub-of-the-home) is not huge. From meals to snacks to playing – the high chair is prime real estate. Thank you for your patience.Take it from an experienced Mom – the high chair is an important part of childhood. One of my first goals is to find the pattern, sew up some covers and then upload the pattern. We arrived here almost 2 weeks ago and we are still surrounded by boxes and such. From job offer to arriving in the new city, it was just under 3 weeks. We had to quick drive home, 1100 miles and then pack the house and move all within 3 weeks. Then we went on vacation/a job hunting trip and my husband got a new job, halfway across the country. I have found the pattern, well I had found the pattern and cut out some new pieces to double check for accuracy. All I have to do it take it off and put it in the wash. One of the things I like about them is that they are reversible and machine washable. Here are some I made for our crew to use. I hope you can make your own cover and enjoy a stash of easily washable high chair covers. It may seem complicated, but really, it sews together so nicely. I sew a straight line to secure and then zigzag over it to make a nice finished edge. I simple make a small diagonal cut in each corner and fold the material under to make a nice seem. Next you have to sew up the hole where the leg divider goes. I am sorry there are no pictures of this. Sew until you reach the other side where the back meets the front. Sew around, making sure to pin and sew closed the hole you used to turn it right side out. Then sew around most of the cover, starting just below where the back meets the front. After you turn it right side out, make sure the seams are all sewn properly and you did not miss a layer or a spot in a layer. Sew all the layers together, I start at the bottom and sew around, leaving at least 4 inches so that you can turn it right side out through that hole. Then the other piece of fabric, right side down, wrong side facing you.įinally you put the batting on top and pin together. Then you put the small piece that you sewed together previously down, matching fabric together. Bottom layer is the PUL/fabric, right side facing up. Next you are going to get out all the pieces you cut and layer them. Then turn it right sides out and sew just the curved bottom hem, this helps give it a finished look. Sew the two small pieces together, right sides facing each other. I do not cut batting for this small piece. This will help to hold the cover on the high chair. You also need to cut two of these smaller pieces. You fold the material and place the pattern on the fold. I also cut a piece of batting out for just a bit of padding. I used regular or flannel for one layer and PUL for the second layer, but really you can use fabric for both. (You will see various material here because I forgot to take all the pictures when I made my second one.)įirst, you need to cut two of these out. I cut it out of paper and then cut out a piece for the upper part. I then folded the pattern in half and did my best to make it even. I finally decided I would try to make a new cover, but alas there were no tutorial online that I could use. It made me wonder if they had any actual parents working in their design department. It also was not supposed to be washed in the washing machine. It got moldy easily on the back and it was just gross. Whoever thought the plastic material they used was a good option must not have been a parent. But, the cover we have, well, it is gross. Out of the 3 or 4 previous high chairs, this one exceeds them all. Presently we have a Fisher Price Space Saver High Chair. Through 9 kidlets I have had a lot of high chairs.
