Stroller Overhaul!

We love hand-me-downs!!
We take them, we give them.
We were given this stroller from our great friends and it had been very loved!
I hustled my bustle down to the craft store, got 2 spicy colored fat quarters, ripped apart the stroller and sewed it back up again!

This is the first time I had ever made my own binding. How fun is that??

Little Miss Cora Jane LOVES it! I’m so glad I thought to keep the buckle to sew in the new spicy stroller!

For $3 (each fat quarter was $1.29)I was able to totally revamp the stroller.

Some shortcuts: I couldn’t take off the stroller shade because it was screwed on and frankly, I didn’t want to take that much time for a baby doll stroller. So I just hot glued the matching binding over the ugly stuff. For the handles, I cut 1″strips of fabric and used loads of spray adhesive to stick the strips on… durable, easy and fast!
