Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Laura Bray made a sit-upon for her daughter to take with her to the park, to summer camp, to the stadium, or anywhere she might need a portable little seat. She improved on the old-school version that has the inside stuffed with newspaper and went with batting instead. I’m betting that she could run it through the wash if she needed. She also added a couple of straps so her daughter can carry it hands-free like a backpack. Go to her blog for the how-to.

Thanks for the feature! And yes, you can wash it!
Totally adorable! Having Laura Bray as a participant in this patriotic blog hop has been such a treat. She is so creative, talented and inspirational!
This brings back super cool memories. Our sit upons did not have straps – very cool addition. Thanks Laura
This is really fun, I had one of these growing up.
Love this! So many times in life I’ve needed one of these for myself.
