I finally succeeded in sewing a project, and it is complete and ready to use! I got a pattern from Jan Andrea's "Sleeping Baby Productions", see http://www.sleepingbaby.net/jan/Baby/chairseat.html .
I did some adjusting to make it more durable, bigger ties, more fabric, etc. Unfortunately, poor Patrick bumped his head on the floor while I was sewing the final hem, hence the red spot on his baby face.
This gadget is amazing, though! It's a chair harness that functions on most standard adult chairs to secure the baby, eliminating the need for a high chair at a restaurant.
