I was inspired by dana and her amazing carseat covers (you have to search her archives because I don't think she makes then anymore). It took some time to create a pattern since I'm too cheap to buy one. :) But I think it was well worth the effort since I can now use it to make multiple covers. Here is the old carseat...
And the beginning of the new one. I still have to add some more batting to the back to make it more cushy because I used a thinner batting on accident. It's not as fitted as the other one because I haven't put the binding around the edge since I still have to add more cushioning still.
It's actually an aqua/brown combo but it looks white here doesn't it? :) After I finish it I'll have to do the canopy to match! So for less than $10 on material (including the muslin to make the pattern) I've got a brand new carseat! Wait scratch that.. I still need more material.. so maybe under $20.. mistakes can be costly. :)
I'll post the finished one when I'm done. Maybe we should add it to the baby beean line. :)
Very nice! I've been looking for one as a gift for my newborn niece :)
