I made two of these this weekend. I got the pattern at Joann's for 1.99$. The pattern called for a yard and a half of quilted fabric. Quilted fabric is quite pricey so I made my own. I used a cheap muslin on the back, the cheapest batting I could find, and for the top I spent a little bit more on a print that I liked. I had to spray baste all three together and then machine quilt it. Then I could finally cut out the pattern. I love how they turned out.
Did I mention I found this car seat for $2 dollars at a yard sale?

I am SO impressed. nice work.
So cute! I think that would be great to try on our existing carseats- jsut to spice things up a bit : ).
Looks so great! I definitely want to revamp my carrier on baby #2.
you're freakin awesome kate. they look very cute. i'm glad to see you sewing again.
I'm totally going to do this!!! Was the pattern easy to follow?
Wow they look great! Nice work. MOM
Just watch for expired carseats, or maybe you don't mind. I do because I want to make sure the plastic isn't aged, especially in the AZ heat down here, and the expiration is in the plastic on the backs. Love the cover though! Nice job! And great patience to not only cut it out and sew, but machine quilt also, nice job!
What a great project! I'm impressed with your resourcefulness! So cute!
Uber cute!
