Not very long ago I bought one of those doll strollers for Katy. It lasted about a week before it got rips and tears in it. The fabric they used on it was so flimsy! I know I've seen people make over a little stroller like this one so I thought I'd give it a try. It's so so so important to take pictures of the old stuff so that you know how to put it all back together. I should have taken way more. But it turned out so cute! Brandon and Katy helped pick out the fabric and I used all the original binding and other pieces from the stroller. I've seen people spray paint the rods and handles a new color but I didn't have the patience for that :)
Before
Took everything apart
Traced the old pieces onto the new fabric
Started piecing everything back together.
Sewing the trim back on (the middle buckle piece shouldn't go there. It goes on the purple piece)
Iron hem 1/4 inch and 2 3/4 inch
Sew pockets for stroller rods to fit on. 2 1/2 inches on each side.
Attach bottom piece to top piece
Sew trim around bottom piece
Tada!
You are amazing!! I have two of these little strollers than need makeovers. I'll have to give this a try, but I have a feeling I will be trying to pull my hair out before it's done.
