Sew up this quick and easy fabric hi-chair - stores right in your diaper bag!

How to Make:

1. You will need 40 inches (1 metre) of 36 inches (90 cm) wide of any type of fabric.

(IDEA - I used a quilted fabric and bound the edges with bias tape.)

2. Cut two tie-strips 7.5 inches (19 cm) by 40 inches (1 metre).
Hem or zigzag all edges of the remaining piece.
