Carseat cover and a few other things...

Wow... this was something that I have never done before. It was quite the adventure and I learned a lot. Hopefully it made my sewing skills a little better. But for awhile there I was nervous.... here I had just totally taken apart and pretty much destroyed a perfectly good if not a little bit old and dingy car seat. And I had no idea if I was going to be able to put it all back together. I got the idea to do this by looking at THIS awesome blog.   Ok so here we go...

here is a picture of the carseat when we first got it a few years ago. Not bad, a little dull:

Before:


right before I started tearing it apart:


During:




Ok.. so a little while back the my mother and father-in-law came into town, and being spoiled as i am they took me to the fabric store for all this wonderful fabric. But I still didn't know what I was doing and I just sorta dug into it.



And very slowly I pieced it back together...:



After:




And while I was at it... I added some strap covers. 



and a car seat cover/ blanket to protect from those nosy strangers at the grocery store. :)


The only thing left I want to do is make a little infant head support... probably out of the polka dot fabric. We will see.


And then I moved on... because I still had some fabric and I made myself a nursing cover...




And some baby 'Legs' made from Mens socks...



and for those of you who dont know what these are or look like... (Julia I hope you dont mind me using your sweet baby as an example!)



And because I had found a brand new Boppy at a yard sale for 2$ I made my self a nice cover for it...
 Front:


Back:This is actually the same blue and white stripe fabric I used on the car seat but you cant really tell in any of hte photos... it just looks light blue. o well.


And a few burp cloths



And last but not least... and probably not last. :) this is a crocheted baby blanket I made for Mr Kash's blessing day. (tutorial here)



Braydan and Tes now both want one... and it was a pretty easy project and went fairly fast because of the chunky yarn and big hook. It is super warm though... so hopefully it is cold when we bless him.
