Sewing a Stroller Muff: Sewing a muff for your stroller - it’s the easiest thing in the world! I sew this stroller muff using coated fabric with teddy fleece lining - so you can brave even the worst nasty weather on your walks! :)
Sew your own stroller muff
I sewed this muff for the sweet twins, Malte & Tamme. They are absolute bundles of energy, almost always in a good mood - and they love adventures in the fresh air. And when they’ve really tired themselves out, they love to relax in their twin stroller. To make sure Mom Nicole doesn’t get cold hands while pushing, she asked me for a stroller muff made of coated fabric.
It goes without saying that I’d make a freebook for it right away - after all, the cold season is just around the corner!
The hand muff is simply opened and placed around the stroller handle. Snap the fasteners shut and you have a cozy muff that keeps your hands nice and warm in wind and weather!
The dimensions of my hand muff are generous! It is designed to fit comfortably over the handle while keeping your wrists nice and warm, too. You don’t even need a pattern for our hand warmer for cold mommy hands. All you need is a can or a glass to round off the corners.
My tip: If you can’t get your favorite fabric in a coated version, simply coat the fabric yourself! In this tutorial, I show you how it’s done!
The outside of the hand muff is made of coated cotton and the inside is made of cuddly soft teddy fleece.
For a little eye-catcher, I added an appliqué that gives the whole thing a bit of pep. (After giving it away, I only realized in the photo that the "twins" [as written in German] were missing an N. Oh noooo!)
Unfortunately, I couldn't find the coated cotton I used on Amazon anymore. But because friends of mine are also expecting a baby in the winter, I ordered these fabrics for my next round of muff sewing.
- The classic apple fabric* from Graziela always works, I think. The stroller is dark blue, so turquoise and apple green provide a nice contrast.
- And for my friend in Hamburg who loves things nautical*:
A little tip on the side - to make sure your favorite child is also nice and cozy in the stroller:
Materials needed to sew the stroller muff
- 42 x 48 cm coated cotton fabric*
- 42 x 48 cm teddy fleece in off-white*
- 9 Kam Snaps*, matching the color of the fabric
- Optional decoration, SnapPap/printed material, glitter faux leather, buttons
- Glass, CD, or can to trace the rounded corners
Note on filling: If you like it a bit warmer, you can stuff the stroller muff with some batting or craft fiberfill before closing the turning opening.
Note on Kam Snaps: Extensive practical testing has shown that Kam Snaps don’t handle the stress very well. Instead, I sewed on snap buttons. And behold: everything stays where it belongs. I used these ones*:
*Happy simple sewing,
yours, Sabine
My tip: You can also easily sew practical outdoor pants for children using coated fabric or softshell!
