We recently purchased a double stroller, and even though there are fun colors coming out soon, we needed the stroller now. So, we bought a plain black one. Combining my need to brighten it up and the girls need to have a blanket that didn't fall down under the wheels, I made a faux chenille stroller blanket.
I used this tutorial for guidance...

One side is corduroy and the other is 4 layers of flannel


I made this one for Ella, and I have enough to make one for Thea. But, just one blanket covers the whole thing. Well, I guess that means with 2, they will be all snuggled in. :)



I tied the ribbon through the straps harness.

One side tied, the other untied.

The dog always tries to get in the picture too. :)
When I make the second one, I will show how I did the ruffle binding
I have recently started a blog, the info you provide on this site has helped me greatly. Thanks for all of your time & work.
