Cushion Covers for IKEA High Chair

I’m a first time mother and sewing enthusiast. When my son started solids and using his high chair I was amazed at how many times I had to wash the cushion cover after his artistic attempts at eating food for the first time. (Honestly, at 14 months he still makes an impressive mess).

Out of frustration, grew a brilliant idea to sew additional covers for the Pyttig inflatable cushion as a way to make washing less stressful. I also saw this as an opportunity to jazz up the chair with some funky fabrics. A cool way to decorate for 1st birthdays, cake smashes, photo shoots, Christmas, & Easter etc.

I make them out of 100% cotton so they comfortable and gentle on bubs skin, while being super easy to wash.  The base is closed with plastic snaps instead of a zip or velcro so it won’t rust or get snagged in the wash.
