Our family was blessed with a new baby nephew this past November. He is the sweetest thing, you just want to kiss his chubby little cheeks. But being a bad (or busy) Auntie, I am just getting around to finishing a gift for little Isaac.
During the Winter I loved to keep a blanket over my babies’ car seats to keep them warm, asleep, and safe from germs. But I never thought of adding straps to a blanket so the handle could remain free. These days I see covers like this at the store and think how clever today’s new mothers are!
This project was such a pleasure to make. I love the fabric, called Grass Menagerie by Michael Miller. The polka dots were a Michael Miller too. It was fast and simple, and turned out exactly how I hoped. For all who are interested, I will be posting a tutorial on Monday.
It looks so beautiful. Looking forward to Monday to see the tutorial!
I love this I am also looking forward to the tutorial.
This is a great idea! I can’t wait for the tutorial! I know a few people having babies soon, I think it’d be a really good present :)
I am expecting a boy in 8 weeks and would love to make one for his car seat. Wish I had one for when my little girl was still small enough to fit in her car seat. She is now 2 1/2. Anxiously awaiting Monday…
What a great Cover! Your so talented! I love to sew!
Yay! I need to make one of these for next week and was just trying to plan out how I would make it. I’ll just wait for monday instead for you to post your instruction. Thanks!
BTW, I love your blog and posted an award for you over on mine.
