Cover That Baby!

When I got my sewing machine the first thing I made was a car seat cover for my sister-in-law Megan. Since then I have made one for my sister-in-law Tiffany and today I just finished one for my sister Liz. As you can tell there are lots of girls in the family so our little guy is out numbered! I move onto his car seat cover next...the first boy one, it took me forever to find cute boy fabric, but I am excited with what I did find!

One of my biggest worries is making sure the baby is warm enough all the time. Our friends Natalie and Trevor got us an awesome bundle me that is a blanket that attaches to seat, so with that and his cover on top I won't have to worry anymore!!

Diaper Bag Love

Below is my super awesome nappy/diaper bag that I ordered from Etsy. During my search for the bag I was also looking for a wipes case, a diaper case and a travel changing pad, but it was all so expensive, I couldn't find any sets and I couldn't really find anything I liked. Not long after I ordered the bag I realized the fabric came from Ikea, so on my way back from SLC one afternoon I stopped off and picked up a yard of the fabric and attempted to make my own diaper bag accessory set...


I found a plastic wipes case at the dollar store, padded the top and with a glue gun covered it with the fabric and some ribbon to smooth out the edges, I added a green button for some color.


Next is the diaper case so they don't go flying around the bag. I had no pattern for this so was pretty impressed at how it turned out. It also has velcro to keep it closed.


Lastly we have the travel changing pad, this is the outside...Ikea also had some waterproof material so I did the other side in that in case of any accidents!


Opposite side of the changing pad.


All in all I am very happy with how it all turned out especially as I kind of made it up as I went along. I really need to work on my detailing, but so far so good!! Another project down...I think burp cloths are next and one day I will finish the bumper for the crib!

Now if only the actual diaper bag would hurry up and get here!!
