The Thrify Chick, who recently passed away, posted this great tutorial on a simple car seat coverfor your infant car seat. I used it to make one for my car seat. I made a few little changes:
I added a pocket on the corner for a pacifier, your keys when shopping, etc. The pocket was 7 by 7 inches before sewing. I also used sew on velcro for closing the pocket and for the straps that attached to the car seat. I also positioned the straps a bit differently, but I think I might move them. Even in the summer, I always take a light blanket with me when going out with the baby. I really like this idea- because this can be used for so many things- and it is attached to the car seat- so there is your lightweight blanket- build into your car seat. ☻
That looks like a project I'm going to have to tackle! I'm so excited that I know how to sew now, because I didn't know how to for my first two babies :)
ReplyDeleteI went to the blog of The Thrify Chick after you posted about her last time. I sat and cried. I felt sorry for the loss that so many people have right now. Thank you for sharing her with us.
ReplyDeleteI love the modifications that you made. It seems very useful.
This is such a cute idea. You did a fabulous job! And does IKEA sell that fabric at their store? I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! (I have seen a bunch of these around.) Because I don't sew... I'm gonna have to hire you to make me one for my next baby!)
