I'd recommend finding a cheap vinyl one from a kid's consignment store or garage sale and use that for tracing (that's what I did) or measure your high chair sides and back to get the dimensions for your cover and include an extra 1/2 inch all the way around for the seam allowances.Sew Can Dohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411538881134901843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578269999856867237.post-58107668174003242122014-05-05T16:22:14.103-04:002014-05-05T16:22:14.103-04:00Do you have a pattern for the high chair cover?

After using this chair for 3 years I can say that makes it SO much easier to clean (no crevices for stuff to hide in!). I didn't add safety straps, as my chair still had some attached, but if you wanted to add some I'd recommend attaching them to the chair underside and then sliding them through the space between the seat and back pads.<br /><br />Also, if you're looking for great laminated cotton fabric, check out my sponsor, Laminates - the shop button is on the top left of my Sponsor sidebar. Deb has lots more choices of prints than anywhere else, better prices and provides exceptional service. Since this post (which was my very first laminate project), her shop is the only place I go for laminated fabric!Sew Can Dohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411538881134901843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578269999856867237.post-3036282041203749182013-12-06T08:47:49.782-05:002013-12-06T08:47:49.782-05:00Hi, I know this is an old post, but I'm about ...Hi, I know this is an old post, but I'm about to attempt a cover for my (as in mine when I was a child) high chair. I love the idea of laminated cotton! And Fabric.com has some cute patterns. <br /><br />Question - is the seat pad attached/sewn to the back piece? Or are the separate? <br /><br />And did you add any safety straps? I am thinking of trying to find some sort of buckle & strap combo to keep little one in his place. <br /><br />Thanks!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936714329836382163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578269999856867237.post-6557436947076351602013-01-03T19:58:35.968-05:002013-01-03T19:58:35.968-05:00I would be super interested in a pattern in the ca...I would be super interested in a pattern in the case that you did find it!christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00479469834619717013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578269999856867237.post-91744317216534439362012-11-05T21:14:23.700-05:002012-11-05T21:14:23.700-05:00I may still have my original paper one somewhere, ...I may still have my original paper one somewhere, but it's not something I could really digitize as a downloadable item, so there would be a cost to redraft & ship a paper one (if I'm sure I can track it down that is!)Sew Can Dohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411538881134901843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578269999856867237.post-11656229568496111642012-11-04T15:50:37.766-05:002012-11-04T15:50:37.766-05:00I know this is a very old post, but I was wonderin...I know this is a very old post, but I was wondering if you had a pattern for this highchair cover?

On the thickness, laminated cotton is the same as regular cotton, just slightly stiffer, so it's wonderful to sew with because you don't need heavy duty needles or thread. I usually get my batting from Joann's - it's pretty inexpensive there. The high loft poly stuff is what you'd want and they usually have 1/2 - 1 inch thicknesses to choose from. Fabric.com has the thin cotton kind that is good for soft quilts, but won't really work well with something that needs to hold a shape, unless you put many, many layers in it. <br /><br />I hope this helps and stay tuned for more laminated cotton project ideas and info on some all new gorgeous laminate prints coming very soon!!Sew Can Dohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411538881134901843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578269999856867237.post-62691830465334339292010-09-20T00:18:33.171-04:002010-09-20T00:18:33.171-04:00Hey lady, beautiful!!!

I've got a couple of questions for you...for the sizing, how much should I increase on the actual measurement, an inch over? Is the laminate on the cotton as thick as bonded vinyl to fabric, or thinner? ALSO- on fabric.com it doesn't say whether or not the batting products are thick, I was curious how one is able to know???

It would probably need to be removed on really hot days though since it might not feel to comfy on bare legs that are already sweating.<br /><br />StepThruCrazy - I'd avoid the vinyl tablecloth if you're using it for making something for small children - especially something they would potentially eat off of or put in their mouths, since vinyl contains phthalates (which have been deemed not safe for kids by the CPSIA). That's why most waterproofed baby items these days (like bibs, placemats, teethers, bath toys) say phthalate free on the package. You can find laminated cotton at some Joann's & at Fabric.com and both offer coupons, so it's still cheaper to make a cover than to buy one.Sew Can Dohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411538881134901843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578269999856867237.post-1137937844731424442010-06-10T07:59:38.517-04:002010-06-10T07:59:38.517-04:00This is exactly what I needed to make 5 years ago....This is exactly what I needed to make 5 years ago... but my high chair still gets regular use, so it's not too late!
