weekend craft: auburn reupholstered infant carseat

i kind of wished i could have taken pictures along the way so i could
have made a tutorial- it's pretty easy.
i just pin the fabric to the carseat's seperate fabric sections and
cut- then piece. after piecing i bind the new cover to the old one.
there are some replaceable covers that are elastic around the edges-
kind of a one size fits all type thing and they just slip over the
existing carseat and cover- but i like binding it to make it a solid
fit.
and as an added bonus- ALL this fabric- everything you see, came from
my fabric stash. yes- i am a horder:)
but it has come in handy during this time of financial insecurity. i
have told myself to "be creative with what you got!" and so far it
hasn't been too hard.
i think my favorite part is the little tiger tab covering the strap
adjuster.

I admit... I'm quite inspired!!! ~I was looking at Maggie's car seat today thinking it really needs an overhaul - now to find the time!

btw - what are the "new" rules for taking kids out of car seats? I was just told there is now a height requirement... do you know?

God bless.

Nicely done, Elizabeth!!! And good for you for "hoarding" your fabric pieces. Isn't nice when the stuff one saves actually comes in handy?!
