Friends of ours were expecting their first baby next month (in about 2 weeks). She showed up early on Monday – healthy & perfect. Oops in that I hadn’t yet shipped the gift! Luckily I had made it already.
They had an infant car seat cover listed on their registry so naturally I made one instead. I had fun shopping for fabrics. I was trying to find something feminine but not pink overload. This fun forest friends print jumped right out at me.
Surprisingly, our son also loved it when I showed up with it asking if it was for “our baby.” Aww. At the time we still didn’t know whether we were expecting a boy or girl so I assured him I would go back after to buy fabric for our baby. (Note to self: still need to do that – but we have a few months still.)
For the inside I chose a complimentary light green check patterned flannel. Just dark enough to help block a little extra light during nap time.
I packed it up and got it in the mail yesterday. Thankfully, they are in the same city so it should be delivered today – just in time to welcome the new family of 3 home.
PS – thanks to LM for once again letting me use her infant car seat for photographing!
