To make the sledges not only a fascinating entertainment, but also a universal means of transportation for the baby, bags and covers for the sleigh were invented. They serve for transportation in sledges with a rigid handle of things of various sizes . Thanks to the reliable fastening and the dense material of which the bag is made, it can be used in any weather conditions - things will remain dry. A cover for the sleigh will make the baby's walk more comfortable and warm.
REFERENCE! A bag and a cover for a sleigh are also convenient in that it is very simple, quick and easy to remove, wash and dry them.

How to sew a sled bag
Sewing a sleigh cover is a time-consuming process, but the result is definitely worth the effort.
The first way - with a pattern
To create a bag, you must follow these points.
Seat
- First, create a pattern for the specified or your own sizes.
- Cut out a pattern for the seat from the fur fabric, adding a 2 cm margin to the size.
- From the raincoat fabric, remove the footboard, also adding a couple of centimeters to the length.
- Cut out a common part for the seat and the footrest 75 cm long from the raincoat fabric, taking into account the pattern provided above.
- Similarly, cut a 75 cm long strip from batting.
- From the foam cut out a pattern for a seat the same size as the fur in paragraph 2.
- Stitch to each other a fur pattern for sitting and a part for a footboard from raincoat fabric.
- From a gabardine cut a small part measuring 19 by 19 cm. Fold it in half and stitch the edge.
- Turn inside out, stitch the remaining edges. Cut excess threads and edges.
Velcro
- Sew two Velcro on the gabardine “envelope” with the soft side down.
- With the sticky side up, fasten the Velcro to the cloak fabric in the center relative to the width and indented 5 cm relative to the length.
- According to the specified algorithm, create two more Velcro lengths of 8 cm.
- Stitch them onto the same raincoat fabric: one indented 23 cm from the seat, the other from the bottom of the footboard 8 cm.
Shutdown
- Sew face-to-face details from raincoat fabric and fur.
- Trim the excess around the edges. Turn inside out.
- Put foam on a batting. Sew them together in stitches.
- Put foam and batting inside the fur seat. Spread it out.
- Stitch two sticky pieces.

The second method - without a pattern
- Cut out a children's mattress or any insulated fabric to fit the sleigh.
- Turn the jacket upside down and attach to the sled.
- Mark the cut line of the sleeves.
- Insert the mattress into the jacket and evenly distribute.
- Turn the jacket inside out, stitch all the holes from the sleeves and for the head.
- Designate a place for ties.
- Use the ropes, thread them through the jacket, tie on a stiff handle.
IMPORTANT! From the sleeves from the down jacket you can sew a comfortable and soft pillow for the baby. Just sew them, leaving room for stuffing. Then fill tightly, stitch along the edges and that’s it!
Enjoy your sleigh ride with a wonderful and warm bag-cover.
