This adorable car seat poncho {free pattern} is made from minky fleece – it’s like wearing a cuddle blanket!  Adorable Car Seat Poncho Pattern that's free. Perfect sewing project. Love this car seat cape idea for keeping kids warm, but not blocking seat belts for safety. This cape is so cute! I love the cloth too. Free pdf sewing pattern - I so want to make one for a sweet little someone I know. Such a great sewing DIY idea.With the soft hood that has the option of adding bear ears, cat ears or horns, this cape is so cute on little ones.  The design of the cape also works well with car seats, allowing restrains to sit beneath the cape, keeping the bulk out of the way for child’s comfort.  Please be aware that this tutorial is 3 pages long – be sure to look for navigation to the next page at the bottom of the page.

For this project you will need:

1.5 yards (1 2/3 yards for 6 – 9 size) cuddle fleece 

In the example below I used Mar Bella Ibiza Fresa with the pocket in Barcelona Cuddle Fresa by Shannon Fabrics.

1.5 yards satin (1 2/3 yards for 6 – 9 size)

Button

Thread

Jersey ballpoint needle

walking foot

Sewing Essentials (scissors, pins, etc.)

Car Seat Poncho Pattern Tutorial

Step 1a – Assemble the pattern and cut out pieces – body

This cape is so cute! I love the cloth too. Free pdf sewing pattern - I so want to make one for a sweet little someone I know. Love! Car Seat Poncho {free pattern} is a great sewing project.

You will need to assemble the Car Seat Poncho Pattern pattern. For instructions on how to assemble the pattern click here. This cape is so cute! I love the cloth too. Free pdf sewing pattern - I so want to make one for a sweet little someone I know. Love! Car Seat Poncho {free pattern} is a great sewing project.

First you will need to cut two squares of fabric for a child sizes 6- 9 you will need two 28 by 28 inch squares,  3 – 5 you will need two 25 by 25 inch (63.5 cm by 63.5 cm) squares out of cuddle fleece.  For a Baby 0-3 months you will want two 16 by 16 inch (40.5 cm by 40.5cm).  For 1- 3 years cut two 20 by 20 inches squares.  Make sure they are perfectly square by checking the square by taking it corner to corner.

This cape is so cute! I love the cloth too. Free pdf sewing pattern - I so want to make one for a sweet little someone I know. Love! Car Seat Poncho {free pattern} is a great sewing project.

Next  place the Poncho back curve Negative in on one of the squares ( this should be placed where you want the top of the cape to be).  Line up the pattern piece as seen in the picture and cut out.

Now it’s time to take the 2nd square and place the Poncho front V Negative on the top corner and cut it out (see picture).  Then with the front piece we’re going to take one more additional step of taking out ruler and rotary blade cut the square in half using the bottom of the V and bottom corner to line up your ruler, making two triangles.

Repeat with the Satin Fabric.  Doing the same thing.

Step 1b – continue to cut out pattern – hood

This cape is so cute! I love the cloth too. Free pdf sewing pattern - I so want to make one for a sweet little someone I know. Love! Car Seat Poncho {free pattern} is a great sewing project.

Now it’s time to cut out the hood and pocket pieces of the car seat poncho.  The hood has a couple of design options for you.  You can make it so it is can have ears, or it can be more simple and not have the ear/horn option.

This cape is so cute! I love the cloth too. Free pdf sewing pattern - I so want to make one for a sweet little someone I know. Love! Car Seat Poncho {free pattern} is a great sewing project.

In the example I cut 4 of the hood front from cuddle fabric, and 2 of the hood back from cuddle fabric, and 2 of the hood back from the lining material ( this was to make it so the lining wasn’t visible when the hood was on, but kept it from getting too bulky).

This cape is so cute! I love the cloth too. Free pdf sewing pattern - I so want to make one for a sweet little someone I know. Love! Car Seat Poncho {free pattern} is a great sewing project.

  I am adding bear ears to this cape so I am going cut out 2 of the inner ear and two of the outer ear. Note:   You have the option to cut out the hood in only two pieces – Just cut two of the full hood from the cuddle and 2 from the lining, or you can cut the exterior (cuddle)  with 2 for the front 2 of the back and cute 2 of the full hood for the lining.  Any of these combinations will work.  If this is confusing to you, disregard this paragraph and just follow along with what I do. =)

Step 1c – continue to cut out car seat poncho pattern – pockets

This cape is so cute! I love the cloth too. Free pdf sewing pattern - I so want to make one for a sweet little someone I know. Love! Car Seat Poncho {free pattern} is a great sewing project.

The last thing to cut out are the front pockets.  While these aren’t essential to the garment – they are really cute and not hard to make so i think it’s worth the time.  On folded fabric cut out 2 of the pockets.

Step 2 – Sew and mount the pockets on to the child  cape

This cape is so cute! I love the cloth too. Free pdf sewing pattern - I so want to make one for a sweet little someone I know. Love! Car Seat Poncho {free pattern} is a great sewing project.

We’re going to pin the pockets to finish the edges and then mount them to the car seat cape.

With right side facing down, turn under the tabs all the way around the pocket.

Love! Car Seat Poncho {free pattern} is a great sewing project.

Be sure not to sew down the diagonal section as this is where hands go in.  Do not bother sewing the section along the edge as it will be taken care of when we sew on the lining. I used a walking foot for the pocket and mounting it.   Set front  pieces aside.

Step 3 – Make Ears for hood (Optional)

child cape0061child cape0070child cape0073child cape0075child cape0076If you want to make the ears for the hood this is optional – but really cute! If you want to learn how to make the horns follow the tutorial here, For the bear and the cat ears: taking and exterior and interior ear piece, put right sides together and line up the bottoms of the pieces. The exterior is larger than the interior so your ear will have a nice outline. Line up the exterior edges of the piece and pin (this will cause the back to bubble). I like to use a lot of pins to get this right sew using a .25 inch (.75cm) seam.Turn right side out.For Bear ear: Sew top stitch seam on ear if desired. For Cat Ear: Turn each bottom corner into center of ear, pin and baste stitch down.

Step 4a – assemble the hood

child cape0077 child cape0078hood backTake the cuddle exterior back of the hood. Sew the two pieces together using a .5 inc h (1.25 cm) seam allowance. Repeat with the lining. ( I removed teh walking foot and used just a regular foot for this)

Step 4b – add the ears

child cape0081child cape0082Place the ears on the hood where you would like them to be ( close to the top looks best) pin then tack down in place using a .25 inch (.75 cm).  Again using just a regular foot.

 

Step 4c – Sew the front pieces together.

Step 4d – Sew the front pieces  and the back pieces together

child cape0086child cape0083child cape0084child cape0089hood front backWith right sides together, pin and sew together.  Take extra care to line up the seams at the top.  Take the two exterior pieces and sew together using a .5 inch seam allowance.  This can be done with a walking foot to help with the bulk especially just over the ears. Repeat with the lining.

Step 5 –  Sew the hood exterior and lining together

hoos to liningchild cape0091child cape0092child cape0093With right sides together pin the two hoods together, making sure the seam at the top lines up on both pieces.  Using a walking foot sew the two together using a .5 inch (1.25cm) seam allowance.  Turn hood right side out and set aside.

Step 6 – sew the outer body of the cape together

child cape0018cape togetherchild cape0004With right side together place the front of the child poncho on the back.  Sew each side seam using a walking foot with a .5 inch (1.25cm) seam allowance.  Repeat with the lining.

Step 7 – sew the hood onto the exterior of the cape.

child cape0007Line up the back of hood and the sides with the top of the exterior cape.  With right sides together ( the exterior of the hood touching the exterior of the cape)  pin the hood into place.  Sew on using a .5 inch (1.25 cm) seam allowance.

 

Step 8 – sew lining to the child cape.

lining to capechild cape0008child cape0009With the hood sandwiched in between the exterior and the lining, place right sides together and pin be sure to leave a 4 to 6 inch ( 10 to 15 cm) gap at the back bottom for turning.  Sew all the way around using a walking foot and a .5 inch ( 1.25 cm) seam allowance.

Step 8 – sew lining to the cape.

child cape0001Turn right side and sew gap shut.  Optional – top stitch all the way around the cape using a .25 inch (.5 cm) seam allowance.

Step 9 – add button and button hole.

Take button and draw button hole onto the side you wish the button to be on. on the hood front.  Sew in button hole and attach button on the other side.  Trim threads.

    I love your patterns!! Although, I am having a little problem with the cape
    for baby or child. Is the hood a whole separate entity?
    I don’t see any instructions for attachment to the cape itself.

      Hi Regina,
      No walking foot is necessary with regular fleece. Given that you are a beginner I strongly suggest that you line it with a flannel or a jersey knit instead of satin. Good luck!

    Hi… in the pattern instructions, what size square do I need for the body of the poncho in the 1 – 3 years size? I am going to make three for my triplet grandchildren. I will use a fleece for the one side, and a fleece-backed nylon for the lining. We’re figuring that the nylon will help cut the wind… But I can’t start them unless I have the square size for the 1-3 year size. Thank you

    Thank you for this! I was going to get something from a big box store for our princess but this way, I can customize it. I may do a trial run with some leftover fleece and some old T-shirts I got from the Salvation Army. I’ve been looking for something that I can have her wear in the car so we don’t have to bundle her up in her car seat. Good luck with your other uploads!

    i am making the age 1-3 size for my grand-daughter with the cat ears. i don’t understand the part of the directions where it says turn in the edges of the ear and baste down the middle. i believe in the pictures you show a bears ear as an example. can you help explain this more clearly for me?

    Reply
    • Angel Hickman Peterson says

      November 24, 2013 at 8:39 pm

      Basically you’re making the cat ear appear like it’s curling in. Take the two bottom ends and have them come in in the middle. For a better visual of how to make the cat ears you can watch a different video tutorial that uses the same ears on this page – http://www.fleecefun.com/halloween-hat-pack.html . If you look at the video starting at 2:20 it shows in detail how to make the cat ears ( I think this will be easier than me trying to explain it to you.)

      It can work as a tent over the seat or you can have the child sit on the back of the poncho and bring the front over the buckles.

    Love your detailed directions & patterns. Looking forward to making this for our granddaughter. Plan to use if for a Beach Cover-up, as well. Have you ever made it without a lining or using Terry Cloth rather than fleece?

      It would work with terry cloth as long as you finish the edges. The pattern would function fine without a lining.

    I was wondering if you have a tutorial on how to put the hood part together?

    I’m making the car seat poncho. Since fleece stretches one direction and not the other is there a certain way you need to cut the pieces? For the pattern pieces I was going to arrange like it is on the printout/pattern, but what about the 2 squares you cut out first? Should they stretch side to side so you can kind of wrap it around the child??? Thanks so much!

      Since the squares are at an angle the stretch isn’t a factor – so just try to arrange the squares as best you can.

    Why are the pockets on the outside rather than on the inside? Are they just aesthetic?

      As the inside is satin and knowing how hard kids can be on clothes I thought they would be better on the exterior.

    I just LOVE this cape. Every thing about it is just beautiful. I have searched for months for a cute cape pattern and this exceeds what I have been looking for. You have the best detailed tutorials that are very helpful to some one with little experience in sewing (ME). I been wanting to make a “dragon” cape also for the little guy so with some tweaking this pattern is perfect for that also ! Thanks so much for the hard work you put into your tutorials & videos, they really give the frustrated beginner hope

      All there is the hood and the “Negative” cut outs – please see the directions and it will make sense.

    This is not the pattern shown on the main page, or the pin picture! Nothing alike. Frustrating!

      Hi Rhonda, unfortunate I don’t have control what other people pin, and I know what your talking about. If it’s any consolation I am frustrated by it too.
