Teeterbabe Jumper

teeterbabeI bought this 1930’s baby jumper before I was even pregnant with Hazel.  It was tucked back in the corner of a thrift shop and I couldn’t resist. The cover was a tattered scrap hanging off the frame so I made a new one with coated floral fabric.  To say I winged it would be an understatement.  I grabbed the scissors and tackled that thing, sewing, seam ripping and applying snaps wherever seemed fit at the moment.  I’m surprised it even works.
