I’ve been wanting to get a trolley for a while for when we go out – rather than having to drag multiple bags around… finally did it this week! (of course I choose to go looking when there aren’t any in stock anywhere …. even tho for the last few years I feel like I’ve seen them everywhere – and funky ones too!!!).

So I got the $15 bargain from Woolies! Plain black, tragically boring! After some inspiration from a fellow baby-wearing addict Mel (http://pimpmycart.blogspot.com) I decided to get sewing!

Stupidly, I forgot to take before pics… just imagine ‘booooring!’ … but here is the ‘after’.

Closeup of pocket on flap. Originally the flap had rounded corners, I chopped 4cm off the bottom to square it off and re-did the binding.

I added a loop of elastic to the flap and a button on the back to hook it over for when I need it to stay open (It was a pain trying to get things in and out of it at times yesterday with the flap in the way)

I also added a knitting needle (it was skinny, the right length, strong but light and not being used ;) ) into the front seam to help it have a bit more shape and stay open. I just unpicked an inch or so of the front seam and pushed it in then sewed a bit around the edges to keep it in place ;)

Yay for granny trolleys!!! I love it!!!!

Now to make myself a wallet to match….. ;)
