For Yoshi's 2nd birthday, she received a toy stroller among her many gifts. She still plays with the stroller, but it had started to fall apart. The fabric tore in two places, the straps began to shred, rendering it almost impossible for her "babies" to sit in it without falling out. I really wasn't fond of the stroller in its fabric with a pattern that looked like flowers barfed themselves on there. Just not a pretty design. I used some leftover brown calico fabric from a previous project (handkerchiefs) and made a new lining for the stroller.

And with Snoopy!

Nothing like breathing in new life into something old.
Great idea and it looks AMAZING!!
