Which totally makes sense. It's FREEZING here! (Seriously, I just slipped on ice walking to the gym.)
Wes and I joke that it is called Bountiful because there is a bounty of snow. (We're pretty clever, huh?) ;)
Wow, totally off topic.
Anyways, for almost a full two months I was taking Sadie out into the bitter cold with only a blanket for warmth.
So I made a cover.
I love it! (Can you hear me squealing as I say that? Because I totally did when it was finished) :)
I love the fabric.
I love that it was so easy to make.
I love that is keeps our little baby warm.
It's cuteness only adds to my hope that when we have another baby, it will be another girl. :)
But I guess if we had a boy I could make another one.
Hmmm...I guess it will be a win win situation.
ive been looking for a pattern for one of these, your is a titch different then the ones ive seen in the past, but it works the same, can you send your pattern to me? i want to make a few for friends and my sister.
ReplyDeleteI didn't actually use a pattern. I just bought a yard and 8 inches of each fabric and put right sides together. Then I sewed around the whole thing leaving about an 8 inch opening on one side to turn in right side out. Then I sewed 1/4 inch seam from the edge all around. Then I just went through and stitched places to hold it together, kind of like you do a quilt.
ReplyDeleteFinally I just took two 20 inch ribbons and sewed them to the cover where they would hang on the handle, then tied them into bows. That's it. Super easy.
That is really cute! It just so happens that a girl in my ward just barely (today) gave me one that she made. I love it too! I have seen other designs that have elastic around the edges so that it grabs around the edges/bottom of the carseat.
