Carseat Blanket

Getting ready for the arrival of Baby Girl!

I'm 37 weeks along today- feeling like "any minute now"

I'm so glad I got this done before she came!

I found the "pattern" on a blog called Calico.

I say "pattern", because she drew a picture a picture and 

her instructions were "make it look like this!"

Which I thought was hilarious, 

and a little tricky.

But I think it worked okay.

I cut out one half by looking at her picture,

and then folded it in half to do the other side

so it would turn out symmetrical

(or close to it!).

I decided to do my own little applique design

instead of piecing together the fabric like Cally did.

I also wanted the straps to be more adjustable, 

so I went with ties instead of button up straps. 

I loved using some fun stitches on my new machine!

I really like how the shape of this cover sits over the car seat,

instead of the dying battle of the draped blanket!
