Recovering a Carseat


This week I have been working on making our infant car seat look girly and new : )  I found a soft flannel fabric that I loved and decided that Adelyn's colors will be brown and pink.  Here' s how it turned out:

Before
Canopy disassembled
Main body "before"

Canopy after
All ready for Adelyn!
Here's the view from the front with comfy head and body snuzzler inside (the insert was store bought; I attached brown bias tape around the edges because they were blue)
What do you think?  Much more girly right?  I just couldn't bare to put my sweet baby girl in a black and grey car seat!  
This was not one of those "super easy" projects that I have taken on in the past.  But, after only a couple of days (and several trips to the store) I think the final result was worth it!  Here is the link to the tutorial in case anyone needs to recover an old (but perfectly good) car seat: 

Hope you all are having a great Saturday!
Love, Sandi
