So I finally decided to pull out the sewing machine that Casey bought me a few years back for my birthday and put it to good use. I made these two reversible car seat covers to try and make our boyish car seat look a little more feminine. I thought it was better than buying a whole new car seat, and it will help keep the sunshine out of her eyes. While making these car seat covers I learned a lot of patience and perseverance. I am so surprised that I finished the first one after much frustration, unpicking, broken needles, and crying to my mom on the phone over it all. :) And even more surprised that I finished the second one after how crazy the first one was. They are far from perfect but all in all I think they turned out pretty cute and I feel that more than anything I at least learned a few good life lessons through it all. I knew there was a good reason it had taken me so long to pull out that sewing machine...I always get so frustrated when sewing because something, if not a million things always seem to go wrong! :) Oh and in case you are wondering how I made them, I just looked at a ton of different ones on other peoples blogs and then just kind of made it up from there...so i am surprised they turned out as well as they did.
