Does anyone have a Cosytoes pattern / link please?

I have some lovely thick fleece which I think would make a good Cosytoes for new pram.

Does anyone know of a good pattern?

It strikes me it should be fairly easy to make one, hope I'm not being unrealistically ambitious!

TIA

I just used my old cosytoes as a pattern, but made it longer and a bit wider. I marked where the straps would go through. Fleece is great because it doesn't fray when you cut the holes through it. I used double thickness fleece top and bottom, and a continuous zip around the edge. Good luck.

Thanks Flutterbye, will give it a go.

Did you overstitch the holes for the straps or just make the cuts and thread straps through?

I've done it - I just sewed around the slits (I mean a rectangle a couple of mm bigger than the hole) a few times with strong thread to make it a bit hardier. My cosytoes was two layers, so the sewing joined them a bit better too.

Disclaimer - I am not a very good seamstress! The cosytoes has held up for a good year, though!
