Creating Seat Cover Patterns to fit the W4 2.0
Thanks for all the videos on this! I might try the same concept on a different wagon as I couldn’t find seat covers to buy for it. I might use Velcro or something for in between straps so I don’t have to rethread every time I need to clean it.
How do you sew in the holes? I’m considering attempting this but have never done the strap holes and don’t know where to start!
Great question! I used the plastic seat insert as a marking guide. I laid it over the cover then used a heat sensitive pen to trace the holes. Once they were all marked, I used the buttonhole feature on my machine. There is a presser foot attachment on it that makes button holes really easy. If you don't have that on yours, there should be a knob on your machine to manually sew the left, right, top, and bottom of a buttonhole. One the rectangle is seen, you put a pin across one end of the hole so you don't accidentally rip too far, and open the inside with a seam ripper. I'm sure there are videos you can search for a visual. Good luck!
@@tonijohns1966 thank you so much!! I’m still figuring my machine out, bought it 5 years ago right before I had my first baby and now that I’ve had 3 and done I’m finally learning how to use it and doing fun things! 😍
@@musicxisxlife01010 Time will be the biggest challenge but don't give up! Be happy with the small victories and you'll get better as you go.
Do you have a pattern i can purchase for the corner section ? Im having a hard time doing that
I'm sorry, I don't. It's easier if you don't put a pocket in it. Just trace around the seat shape.
How do I do it with a pocket? My kid loves his
@@serenalee7137 I don't own a wagon anymore so it's a bit hard to walk you through it. I believe the first video shows how to cut the fabric to add pockets to the back and sides of the seat.
How do you attach the bag to the basket by the handlebar?
I thread a cotton ribbon through the holes then secure it with the seat back clip if I am in a place where I look away often and want to slow someone down who might grab it. Otherwise, it sits on the basket well and the parent console holds it in place.
Hello! I would love to see a video of you seeing it together. Did you film one? Do you have an Instagram account?
Hello! No Instagram here. I don't have a video of the actual sewing but am uploading a video explaining how I assembled it. I hope that helps!
I need the finished product!!
Hi would you consider making a video putting it all together ❤️
If I make another I will!
Do you have any videos on making the canopy?
No, I don't. I think there are patterns in the Facebook files though.
Can we buy a printable version of this pattern?
I haven't created a printable version but thanks for the interest.
How do you get the straps on the original seat through the new seat cover? Is there a tutorial that continues from this one? This is a great start. Looking at the seat it doesn't appear to have easy access to the straps in order to feed the straps through the fabric button holes
Thanks! I haven't posted more yet. Life got in the way and I moved on to other projects! I do have another video on the to do list though. To get the straps through, you have to remove them from the seat then thread them through both the cover and seat in the best position for your child. Honestly, it's such a pain that I'm almost over using a seat cover. It's not practical to remove it constantly for washing. If I still had years of wagon use ahead of me I might design one that could be taken on and off without removing the straps but I'm down to one rider.
@@tonijohns1966 Thanks for your quick reply.
Do u have more videos I'm new to utub I don't know how to find your stuff I'm getting a wonderfold wagon next week and yes I want to make covers for it I'm a pretty good seamstis but I've only made fancy dog dresses and costumes and made some human costumes so I can sew and use patters but there is no one on utub that shows how to make them and the people that do know how want alot of money for there product I'm not looking to learn how to do it and sell I just want for my wagon thank u
Hello Carol. The videos I've posted are in my channel. Get a start by tracing around your seats when you get them. If you are confident, use your fabric. If not, use cardboard or paper. Leave yourself plenty of seam allowance. You can always stitch in some if they are loose! To assemble the pieces, I just pinned right sides together and sewed around the perimeter leaving a space to turn. Life has been busy but I do hope to get another video up soon showing the finished cover.
Oh no I wanted to see more good vidio
Hello thank you for these videos! Did you ever film how to sew everything together? I am trying to imagine the seams. I’m trying to make some seats for my W2 luxe. Did you share the final product on Instagram or anything? Would love to see!
Hello I just came up on your video. I’ve been trying to look everywhere for videos that explain in detail how to do the liners for the wagon. Wagons are pricey so I know there is people out there trying to save money buy doing it yourself. You’re the only one that does have a video. Is there anywhere we can follow you to see your end results.
I'm glad I could get you started Carol! I'll try to get something posted soon.
you dint finish showing us the completed look.
Can we please see the finished look !
Where can i get a pattern
The video shows you how to create a pattern. If you want something to print you could search the files in the Facebook group.
How much fabric would you think is necessary to cover both seats? Also, you have a printed fabric and a yellow fabric… why two? I ask because i do not sew lol. But I’m gonna give this a try!
You can do it! It takes about a yard per seat but I bought extra because I didn't want to worry about strategic pattern piece placement. I used two colors because the yellow is quilted. It gives a bit more cushion.
Do you just sew button holes for the straps?
I sewed button holes for each strap opening so I wouldn't have to go back and do it later. I only used the seam ripper to cut open the ones In currently using.
Do you sell seat covers by any chance?
Thank you for asking but not currently.
@@tonijohns1966 you should there's a HUGE market for it
Do you have a pattern pdf?
I don't. The pattern would cover multiple pieces of paper and have to be assembled and taped together. Tracing around the seat seems much easier!
