ain't no sunshine...

It used to happen that when my baby was sleeping in her buggy, the rays of sun or the strong lights in the stores woke her up. The temporary solution was to hang a blanket on the hood, but it did not look that nice. Creating my own sun shade should not be that hard, I thought, so I took some measurements and sew this:

The difficulty was how to attach it to the canopy... I went for snap fasteners, which I now slightly regret as using rings and eyelets would make things easier. The advantage of the snaps is that I can attach the bottom of the shade to the canopy when it is windy.

When not needed, I can just roll it up and fold it:


I am quite happy with this project, but in the future I will use rings instead of snaps and attach the tape used for folding to the middle of the shade.
