Look what I did!

So I'm real proud of my latest accomplishment, although not that hard to make, but wanted to share it anyway.

With Isaac, I had a standard Wal-Mart carseat cover which worked fine except for the fact that everytime I took him out of it he was drenched in sweat. It worked a little too well! So for this little one I wanted to make something that would cover her from the arctic weather here, but also have a little more circulation. Plus be more stylish, of course.

The result:

Contrasting fabric/inside:


Thank you to Sarah for letting me borrow your carseat, and for Porters for having an AWESOME sale on fabric!
