This will fit perfectly on one yard of fabric. You make your pattern the same as shown in that video using the measurements you need for your child.įor this size poncho (about a 2T/3T) use 2.25 inches for the neck radius and from the 90 degree corner of the paper to the full length of the pattern is 17.5 inches.
Carseat poncho how to#
I show exactly how to make this style of circle pattern in my Circle Skirts 3 Easy Ways video. The second pattern piece is 1/4 of a circle. (If I remade this I would trace a hoodie one size larger to make it a little roomier since it’s two layers thick).
I simply traced a hoodie my daughter already owned and added a half inch all the way around for the seam allowance. I used fleece for both of mine, but you can get creative and use a laminated cotton for one side to make a rain poncho or whatever materials you like.Īfter you have selected your supplies you will need to make two simple pattern pieces. It keeps kiddos warm in and out of the car and allows you to safely buckle the car seat straps underneath the poncho.Īnyway, enough of my excitement about the poncho itself and onto telling you how to make it! You will need about 1 yard each of two different fabrics. It gets old really quick, but it’s much safer than wearing a coat in a car seat (because the straps aren’t firmly secured against your child, but instead are going around lots of bulky material).īut that is what makes the Car Seat Poncho so BRILLIANT! Leave store and take coat back off to buckle into car seat. Get to store, unbuckle kid and put coat back on to go into store. Take off coat and buckle kiddo into their car seat. Put on your kid's coat and get them to the car. If you have young children you know about the car seat routine. This week I’m sharing a project I am so excited about! Not only is it cute, warm and functional, but it is REVERSIBLE! You all know if I can find a way to make something reversible then I will do it! You can see several other reversible projects HERE! This car seat poncho also saves a lot of time and energy when going places with your kids.
