Car Seat cover

I made a car seat cover for Sleepyhead. I made it using this tutorial

It was supper easy! It would have been even easier if I had remembered to take into consideration seam allowances when I pieced together the top, doh! I ended up cutting down the liner layer to make up for the short top layer, but it worked out and Sleepyhead got a cute cover to keep out the cold.

I made it out of a bedspread I bought at Gabes http://www.gabrielbrothers.com/ for $1.99 and a remnant of corduroy that I bought for some unknown reason (I really need to stop doing that, as my craft room is at max capacity!) for $1.50 adding a bit of Velcro from the stash and I had a cheap, but really cute cover. Looking at the picture, I just realized that I sewed the straps on so that they fasten in different directions, oh well. I will have to remember that for when (if) I make this again for gifts. It would be something really nice to give, and something great to do with all of those yards of fabric that I buy because it is cheap, or I just love, did I mention that I need to stop doing that!
