Car Seat Cover. Done.

You, sewing machine needle, almost won. But I pushed on and came out ahead in the end.


In my crazy crafty way of thinking (these days) I decided to make this myself because it looked do-able. Is it? Yes, but that doesn't mean mine turned out to be perfect. Here's the finished project after 2 or so hours of decent progress and a happy attitude and another 1 hour of pure torture and sewing machine angst. Turns out that sticky tape velcro doesn't need to be sewn on after being applied. In fact, you might just ruin your needle or in general make you never want to sew.ever.again. 

 Ta da!

Favorite part - the buttons sown on the imperfectly shaped handle thingys.

Yep! Good enough for me...good enough for now. Maybe some day I will try again and it will look like a grown up did it. :)

    I don't get it - was the cover just to make it prettier? To keep it clean? To cover Josie in winter? Whatever, I like the fall print:)

  2. Love it! I'm with you on the velcro. It is zero fun when it ruins the needle.
