  Step 1

  Pull out your new, used, or borrowed baby carrier. Take off the straps so you just have the body of the carrier.

• 

  Step 2

  Find the center points (lengthwise) of the carrier and trace onto posterboard. Add 3/4" seam allowance (dotted line) around pattern. Be sure NOT to add seam allowance to the middle line (this will be our fold line).

• 

  Step 3

  Trace pattern onto two coordinating fabrics (be sure to fold fabric on fold line). Cut out.

• 

  Step 4

  Fold edges 5 edges 1/4" on wrong side of fabric. Fold again 1/4" and stitch close to the fold line.

• 

  Step 5

  Place both pieces right sides together. Pin and serge/sew using a 1/2" seam allowance. Remember not sew over areas you just top stitched!! If you sew, be sure to finish the edges with a zigzag or overcast stitch.

• 

  Step 6

  Turn right side out. Press. Insert baby carrier body. Reattach straps.

  Kate calls this a "belly basket" - how cute is that? :)

  * This carrier cover would look really cute with a pocket, monogram, ruffle, or ric-rac! Go crazy :)
