I made this car seat canopy a while back to cover up my son from the cold winter weather. Before I would just put a blanket over top but it would always come off and was hard to carry. This is SO much better! I love it! I got the tutorial from Creatively Christy.
I used this fun argyle print but then realized after I sewed it sideways. Oh well. I still think it looks great, don't you?
I had a bunch of minky fabric that I used for the inside to keep my little guy nice and warm. This was the first time that I had ever made a button hole. It took me a while to figure out how to use it on my sewing machine but I really like the buttons on top instead of velcro.
Oh my gosh! You have great timing! My sister is having a baby in April and she told me she that she's always wanted one so I was JUST thinking of searching for a tutorial. Thank you for sharing this and I love yours! It's so cute!
ReplyDeleteI like the buttons too! fancier than velcro but not as messy looking as ties. I didn't notice that the argyle was sideways until you mentioned it. I love this and I wish I still had a reason to make it...alas, my little friend has already outgrown his infant Ollie seat. Maybe I'll be more on top of things with the next baby...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that you posted this! I need one and I think I might give it a shot! I sure miss you girl and you still totally inspire me!
