Foam Baby Seat Cover Free Pattern and Tutorial ! BACK UP! WOOT!


EDITED 7/7/12  As I have previously mentioned, there is some errata in this pattern, which I am working on fixing (when I finally have the time, ha!)  If you have specific questions, please email me at mousehousecreations (at) yahoo (dot) com.  


The pattern and direction links are below!




I am very sorry and sad to announce that this pattern is no longer available.   For more information regarding this, please check this blog update found HERE


Guess what?!  It is available again for your use! PLEASE do not sell this finished cover... use it for your own purpose.  Please do NOT place the "Foam Baby Seat" on a high surface or leave your baby unattended in the "Foam Baby Seat", even with the awesome cover you have just made.  Tell ALL caregivers the same information.... do NOT put the "Foam Baby Seat" near fireplaces, on refrigerators, in cars, on buildings, and most importantly, in bathtubs.  Do NOT do anything stupid with the "FOAM BABY SEAT".  The "Foam Baby Seat" is a fun device... not meant for a bathing baby, sleeping baby, driving baby, or a hiking baby.  NONE of those activities are safe for a baby in a "Foam Baby Seat".  Even with the awesome cover you have just created.  


And NEVER EVER refer to it as anything other than a "FOAM BABY SEAT COVER".  EVER.


I am in NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH BUMBO OR KEEN DISTRIBUTERS, NOR has this cover been approved by Bumbo or Keen Distributers.


ARE WE CLEAR?  FOLLOW ALL SPECIFIED GUIDELINES CLEARLY LISTED ON ALL FOAM BABY SEATS.  DO NOT PUT YOUR CHILD IN DANGER.  JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN AWESOMELY CUTE COVER DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT SAFETY GUIDELINES.  GOT IT???!


Find the cover pieces HERE and the directions HERE. THE UPDATED/REVISED/MORE AWESOME PATTERN WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON.  THE AVAILABLE PATTERN CLEARLY HAS SOME MISTAKES AND ERRATA.  BEAR WITH ME WHILE I UPDATE!

  6. I have to commend your hard work...I couldn't wait so I drafted a pattern myself and it was NOT EASY :)

  7. Thank you for this free pattern and tutorial. My husband was concerned about a bare bumbo for a couple of reason and I am glad we don't have to spend the money on one! :)

  8. Thank you for sharing you pattern to us free of charge! I made one tonight and I had some issues with the last few instructions. I couldn't figure out how to attach the seat piece to the arm pieces and then eventually to the "hood" piece. The instructions weren't very clear to me and I kind of just winged it. The finished product turned out okay, but I like a more fitted look. Is there any tips you can give me? I don't have a google account, but feel free to email me: cuppycakecouture at yahoo dot com

    Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!

  13. that's so ridiculous! There are still lots of people on etsy selling these covers that haven't gotten shut down. Hopefully you can get it back up some day. Maybe you can just say it's a baby seat cover and not use the company name. in the mean time I saw a few people request to have it emailed to them. If you do that will you please email me too... at rumpeez@live.com thanks!

    I'm trying to do everything myself and I was so happy someone shared a tutorial on the seat cover until I opened the site :( I'm sooo bummed.
    I see that everyone is asking for the pattern via email, can I also get one :)

  16. wow! Bummer! wonder if you could just call it a "baby seat cover" and hint as to the brand but never mention it for "legal purposes". If you do get this back up and running, I would LOVE to be emailed the pattern! boogerbearcreations@live.com Good luck!

  40. How do the base pieces connect together. When I printed it out all three pieces were different sizes. They didn't line up right to tape them together

    ReplyDelete
  41. Thank you so much for this. My friend had triplets and we got some second hand foam chairs for them. I wanted to do something special and individual for them, these covers will be WONDERFUL! Thank you so very much!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Thanks so much for this pattern!!
    I am trying to make this and I don't understand what it means to tape together at the lines. Are you talking about the dashes on the edges of some of the pieces? And if so which pieces go together? I know it says you were updating it so I thought it might be nice to have a picture of which pattern pieces go together?

    ReplyDelete
  43. I haven't had time to update the pattern yet, so I apologize about that!!! When you print them out, just line them up the best you can.... hopefully I will have the new pattern up soon!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Thank you so much!! I've been waiting for this pattern!

  49. The link to the instructions keeps redirecting to a google site. Is there a way to fix this? I'm so excited to get started on this but I don't have to courage to venture it without instructions.

    In the meantime, can someone tell me how the cover gets put on the seat. Is it just slipped on or it there velcro to secure it?

  52. And there is elastic at the bottom to secure it

  53. I followed everything to a T and for some reason mine does not fit. Also I noticed on the base part I have to remessure cause it wasn't long enough to go around it. What am I doing wrong?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Tina, if you could email me at mousehousecreations (at) yahoo (dot) com I could walk you through it!

  55. I'm also being redirected to the google website when I click on your link. I would love to get the pattern to make one for my daughter. Not so much so it looks cute or because i have a blue bumbo, (I'm also a girl who will use a blue bumbo for a girl) but because my 4 month old drools everywhere! It would be awesome to have one to throw on and off, and to wash easily. Could someone PLEASE send it to me?
