How to Sew a Car Seat Cover

_________________________________________________________________________________
After learning the sewing basics this summer I was determined to attempt a larger, more useful project (one can only use so many pin cushions and burp pads!!). I have admired a variety DIY car seat covers on the Internet that seemed to be quite approachable for a newbie, like myself. I selected a tutorial that I found on Pinterest, altered the plan for my specific car seat (with the help of a patient friend) and went to work!

It is basically just a blanket with straps.

The cover can be lifted easily from the front or the back to allow air flow or just take a peek!

I added "peel and stick" Velcro to the straps for easy removal.

I have found the cover to be quite useful. It protects Henry from the sun, wind, and most importantly... the dirty hands of strangers at the grocery store!!

Thanks for all your help Sara!!
