- This week I show you how to make a shopping cart cover out of fleece. It's quick and easy and a great beginner project! These covers are great to keep your babies and toddlers away from all the nasty little germs on shopping cart covers.
The fleece provides a soft and comfortable sitting surface and my instructions also include two holes to pass the seat belt through.

I have a friend who is 3 months pregnant. She's into hard rock gothic stuff. The typical fluffy pink baby stuff isn't really her style so I'm really excited to find all your great videos. Specialty hard core baby stuff is pretty expensive and it's not in either our budgets so I can't wait to go get some awesome fabric and make some of this great stuff!
I took sewing classes in H.S and I really thought I can do this, so a few days ago I went out and bought all my supplies. Then I looked up the tutorials online and I was like "huh?..What?...But?...aw man!"...and then I found you!! Thank you so much for keeping things simple, I don't understand why some people add so many steps just for it to look exactly like this one, which is about 50% less steps. THANK YOU THANK YOU for being awesome!
No problem! Glad to help! Be sure to subscribe I have tons of other videos and all in my same teaching style- clear and easy-to-follow! Happy sewing!
Thank you so much. Very easy to understand.
@@TheCraftyGemini Do you the more advanced video with the trim
As someone who used to work at a grocery store, I really really encourage these shopping cart covers.
Thank you so much for this video! I have made two of these and given them as presents at baby showers. The future mother's didn't know what my gift was at first, finally someone else told them. It was a lot of fun to see their faces trying to figure it out. These mother's both use their shopping cart covers and love them! I am now making two more, one for a future mother and one for the grandma to have to use. You explain everything so well, even I as a 70 year old could understand how to make it. Your awesome!
Love your instructions. I made this cart cover for my Bichon, Sage, leaving out the holes for straps and legs.
wow, this will make perfect baby shower gift, or like happy 1 year old birthday party gift! love it, thank you.
Thank you for this! I'm going to make one for my niece due in April. I always enjoy your tutorials and your no-fuss style!
I have been scouring Pinterest for YOUR tutorial. All the others were way too complicated. You totally broke it down. Seriously, I have been searching for several months, off and on. I am SO GRATEFUL I found this video!! Gonna subscribe in hopes your other projects have such simple instructions. Well done! And I guess that cutie pie son of yours is a teenager by now. 😳 Thank you!!
😂 Yup! Glad you found it. I have hundreds of free tutorials here and my son is 14 now and taller than me! 😅❤️
I just wanted to thank you for you tutorial. I have kept going back to it over the last few years because it’s easy and understandable to follow. For now I’ve made a few shopping cart covers for my family members. 😊🤔
Very pleasantly presented. I think I can now tackle mine! Thank you!
This is the best shopping trolly cover I've ever seen so easy to put on the trolly aswell
This was fun to make, my only issue was getting the whole thing to turn inside out after the elastic part. Loved the tutorial through the whole process. Thank you!!❤😊
Thank you so much!! I am new to sewing and also couldn't figure the pattern out. You explained everything so well. Now I can begin this shopping cart project with a lot more confidence!!
Thank You! Thank You! I made this for my grand-daughter,,, as my daughter complained that her (store bought) cover didn't fit over Target's bulky shopping carts ,,,, I found this pattern and YAY! it covered Target carts! She was so happy! I used pretty cotton fabric on both sides and batting inside. (so 3 layers in total-it is quite comfy) I added a pocket and sewed a bias strip of fabric down so baby's toys can be clipped and secured. (got that idea from another video) Love you videos ... Thanks again!!
Yes. That will work fine... The fabric width can vary on bolts anywhere from 40"-45"... it should work just fine for you.
Great tutorial and your son is ADORABLE!
Great idea: first time I’ve ever come across this. Straightforward to make. Thank you.
awesome tutorial .. so easy ...thank you ..I am a visual learner and this video w instructions was perfect!.
Thank you so much! I bought a pattern for this, and I couldn't figure it out. So i watched your video like 5 times, and I just made my first shopping cart cover! I am so excited and so proud of myself!!! Thanks again
Thanks. Mine fit over a double one but you can add a bit more to it just to be sure. Have fun!
This is a such a GREAT project description! Thank you! ❤
Love you tutorials....just made this as a gift for my nephew! Turned out great! Thank you for your easy to follow tutorials!
i really love and admire you..i love your craft eventhough i don't have a sewing ,machine i'm trying using hand sew
great tutorial!
Thank you!! Finally I found a tutorial on how to make these!!! Awesome job!
Cutie! Great project for any child
I'm about to make my second cart cover. I've never sewn before,but my first one came out beautiful. My second one I'm using a cotton fabric and I'm gonna do more things to it. Thanks for the video. It was easy to follow.
Thank you Crafty Gemini, for the help.
I tried this last night! I changed the leg holes to squares. I just like the look of them better. It is my first ever project since buying a sewing machine, yesterday. I want to try binding so I will look for your other video with the binding :-) Thankyou
I keep telling my hubby we'll need one of these for our baby soon! So excited I'll be able to make my own custom one :D
Good project for a gift. I used fleece for one side and flannel on the other. It was easy to just turn the edges of the wholes to the underside because the fleece is so stretchy and zig zag so the fleece won't unravel. I cut the legs out with a plate using my rotary cutter. Then I took the circles and used them to make matching little toys. I did them with the ribbon tabs, but you could just simply stuff them.
You are seriously my idol! I am a beginner and all of your tutorials are so easy for me to follow. Keep up the good work :)
best thorough tutorial. love it, you did an awesome job on the step by step guiding. way better than other tutorials I've watched for other projects. it was very easy for me to pick up on. i hour you come out with more baby items. lots of love!!
Hi Crafty Gemini. This tutorial is fantastic, so easy and clear to see, hear and follow. I will be making a couple of these for our 3rd grandchild who is due in Feb. Wish I had seen this when our 3 children were tiny! I am off to look at your other tutorials. Thank you so much : ) BTW, your little shopping cart cover tester is a real cutie. Take care.
Thanks for that tutorial! I like that I don't have to print off (and tape together) any pattern.
@beingv Hahaha... yup! Good eye! I like them because it's more like a cup and not as flat as the magnetic pin holders.
Thank you!
I wasn’t able to do this for my children because of time but my children are all grown now and I have grandchildren, so I’m able to now start this project. I used the rotary cutter to cut an X in the circle and then used the rotary cutter to cut the slit for the belt loop. Thanks for this project. Also after you put the elastic in, you can pull it through but then because you did not stitch the holes for the legs, you can continue to sell the wrong side to close up the hole you pull the whole thing through. I hope that kind of makes sense. Pin the elastic in place to finish the outer opening, to close up the elastic casing.
That is a great idea, to use the leg hole to pull it through and that way the elastic can be fully encased and you don't have to go back and sew up the hole as the demonstration showed. GREAT! Thanks for the tip!
Thanks! I have a new niece or nephew coming soon and this will be great for my sister to have!
Great video... I don't have any little ones, but what I did learn is that I can use my magnetic tealight candle holder to keep pins in! I have two of the same one you used in your video... Great idea!
My second day sewing and nailed it!! Thanks for the tutorial.
Excellent!!! Love this project!!! So simple!!!
This is so much simpler than the pattern I bought to make one. I have already started it so I think I will make a couple of these types to have plenty to use in case one gets dirty...
I love your tutorial! I am definitely gonna make one.
I'll add your suggestion to my long to do list. Thanks.
I hate watching a crafting video when the crafter just goes on and on for 10 minutes about everything but what the tutorial is about before getting to the point. Thank you for keeping it simple and easy to understand. I LOVE your tutorials... I have made several things from watching your videos. ) And, your little boy is beautiful. :-)
Thank you so much for your tutorial video. It was easy and glad that I manage to do it myself. I am using it for both high chair and shopping cart as well.
I want you to show me how you do it with yawn
This is amazing!!!
I bought a pattern off of etsy, but I didn't know what the heck was going on there! AMAZING
I'm excited I finally get to make one
Great job...you are very talented
Thank You!! This was so easy. a nice tutorial.
Thank you! I will try and make this for my friends son. His 1st birthday party is coming soon !
Wow! How wonderful! Love it, thank you.
@shabbynchic1 No problem. I don't make it look that way... it just really is! LOL. I like to teach my viewers that anyone can make this stuff you just have to have a little curiosity and the want to learn. Happy sewing! :o)
Great idea! Thanks.
Granny undies!!!!! Haha lol. They are alot easier to sew than I ever imagined! I love the look on you kids face- "mum are we going shopping or what?" haha. Thankyou
thank you, it is really helpful for me trying to figure out how to make shopping cart cover to use for my baby :) and making a gift to a friends have baby as well
I'm going to make one for my niece and this was a great tutorial! PS your kid is adorable!
THANK YOU!!!! I was searching for a cover tutorial. I have a pattern from Simplicity but I have found I do much better work from tutorial type instructions. Thank you so much for making this so easy, and I love your idea of the pin holder. I have one of those glade things around here somewhere :)
Hi. Thank you. I loved watching you make this and am going to get started right away. Keep up what you do.
Excited to make this. Thank you for making it simple After watching I feel confident that I can make it!!! :)
Thank you sooo much for this tutorial, seriously! I bought a pattern for a twin shopping cart cover on Etsy, only to find out that the instruction was nearly all-text! :-O I'm so glad I found your video because I can combine what I've learned here, with the twin cover pattern that I bought. Lol.
It won't matter too much if you mess it up because there isn't too much of a difference and the cover is designed to be loose fitting with space for adjustments. But I put it going front to back. Hope that helps.
Too cute! Love the idea and it honestly looks easier and quicker to put on the cart than the one I got from the store with a bunch of little valcro tabs to attach. LOL and your right it does look like a giant pair of underwear!
I'm totally making this! Thank you for this video!!!
Just wanna let you know I absolutely love your tutorials and they have all been huge hits at baby showers and im making a quilt per your instructions for a school giveaway..awesome videos...keep it up!
@rebeccahg261 Glad I could help!! Thanks for commenting! :o)
Thank you so much for your nicely explained video. Love it!
Your baby is gorgeous! Thank you. I hope I can get my guy to invest in a sewing machine for me :)
Thaaaaaaank you so much! I'm definitely trying this, this weekend.
Thank you for your response!

Thanks for this!
You are amazing, thanks for the video😉
Thanks for sharing.
@MyCraftyCorner if you take your time, most things done a machine can be done by hand, its not rushing it. I sew with a machine and without, depending on how special i want it, Like a baby quilt, all hand done, mending a shirt, machine. I love hand sewing more then machine, I have issues with my machine somedays it does not want to work. But For most things that are sewn you can do by hand, like if i want straight edge on a baby quilt, i use a metal ruler and mark where i need to sew.
That was such a nice tutorial! I'm definitely going to try it, u make it look soooo easy!
@StarofParis Thanks! At the end of the video I show you another version I made with 100% cotton fabrics and I mention including a layer of batting in between so it can be fluffier and a lot softer to sit on for the baby. But it will definitely work. You don't need the fabric to stretch if you have the elastic edge. That's what needs to stretch over the cart. You should be fine.
doesn't matter as long as you get the same measurements. I usually will fold if I'm working on a smaller works surface so it fits and makes it easier to cut.
love this tutorial. so helpful, thank you so much!
Wow.. You are so talented. You have the best ideas. Thank you so my for this tutorial. Love your each design and can't wait to do this. Thanks again..:)
your son is adorable
@Stitchesbyk Thanks. Glad you liked it. Have fun! :o)
Great video!

I just love your videos!! You are very talented and you have a beautiful little boy :)
Love this!!! 🙏 thank you!
Awesome!! You make it look so easy :) This will be a summer project!!
I love this tutorial. thanks so much...
Could you make a video explaining how you made the other one that you showed here in the end? Also is there anyway you could add the velcro straps so that they can have their toys hang off of it. I hope that makes sense. Thanks so much for the video. I hope to make a couple here soon for my son and his cousins.
THANK YOU!!
I'm so glad I found the perfect project for a friend's baby shower gift. Thank you! I couldn't stop laughing when you said it looks like big underwear!
