Calling All Pregnant Ladies!

My mother in law bought me a sewing machine for Christmas and it has sat in the box because I never knew what to do with it. Until now!!! One of my amazing dearest friends Liz and her husband just adopted a little tiny baby boy, Connor! I wanted to get them an awesome present but just wasn't sure what to do? Then I went to a baby shower the next weekend for another friend and I saw this and I just HAD to make one. Don't you just hate it when your blanket flies off of the car seat, or when the baby kicks it off, or even worse, when someone you don't know comes up at starts TOUCHING your child???? Well, this is the cute answer!!! It's a car seat blanket that straps on and protects your baby from the crazy Utah weather and from the creepster strangers!











Ok so it is impossible to line up these photos! The first is a front view with the cover on the car seat, the second is so you can see the front and back, the next is a side view, and the last is the close up of the fabric I used for this one! I am still tweaking it since I am not a professional and I am learning how to embelish them a little more! Let me know what you think about them!

Carrie look at you being so crafty. I love them! It's a brilliant idea. As soon as we get a baby I'll let you know so you can start working on one for us. :)
