We're still waiting for our {little} one to arrive and I have been having so much fun sewing for him. Maybe because it's a {little project} I can do sitting down!
This past week I made a car seat canopy. This is an upcycling {little project} I've made before, but gave it away last time.
With a winter baby, a car seat canopy is almost a must-have.
I upcycled this time too: the brown rings at the top are from a discarded pair of pants and the buttons are from another {little project} too. I love upcycling! And I have a few more {little projects} in the works to share with you for Christmas that use upcycling :)
I followed these instructions to make {this little} car seat canopy. They worked great, except that the canopy dragged a little on the front corners. To solve it, I tacked them up just a little on each side. I think it still looks fine (see photo at top too).
Here's a peek inside. Ellie has had her dolls in it constantly!
I also made a couple of baby slings this week in the hopes of avoiding carpel tunnel this time from holding baby constantly.

I used these instructions and a cotton/lycra blend for the fabric because these photos of a snugly newborn looked so comfy. (I did alter the measurements due to the stretchiness).
I made a couple of extra slings for the kids to use too. I know Ellie will especially love using hers with her baby dolls! She is such a {little} mother!
Both of these {little projects} are easy enough for a beginner. In fact, using the cotton/lycra fabric meant I didn't even have to hem the baby sling-yay!
Just counting down now for our {little} guy to arrive and try them out :)
The car seat cover turned out adorable. Thinking of you and anxious to hear about your (little) man's arrival! Hugs!
