Shopping Cart Seat Cover

View from front
and side

In my class last Tuesday I started a shopping cart seat cover, using a "Sewing for Dummies" pattern. Oddly, the directions are not as clear as one might expect for a pattern intended for dummies...there were a couple of places in there when I had to go over the directions several times and I actually got started wrong before I realized it. A few more illustrations would have helped.

The following day, Wednesday, I finished the cover. It was not as difficult as I expected it to be and I am very pleased with it.

That's elastic around the top facing, by the way. That way it stays when you drape it over the handle and around. There are other patterns that are more like ruffles, which may be a little easier.
