I have a hard time deciding what to make for little boys sometimes and what fabrics to choose. I recently received these items for my own baby and have really enjoyed them and gotten comments on how cute they are.
(Thanks, Brooke!) So I decided to make them for a friend who was having a little boy. My friend has a ton of sewing and crafting talent although she is very modest. But I love what she comes up with, including her own pattern for things. I am inspired by her, so I used what I've learned from her and created the above car seat cover and car seat blanket. I'm really only brave enough to create flat patterns, but I loved how they turned out. And I got to make and use bias strips for binding, which is my recent obsession - ask anyone who has received a baby present from me lately. Anyway, I'm glad they turned out well, and they really weren't difficult. And I liked the fabric and have heard she does, too. Bonus! This is definitely something I can repeat.
