My good friend Sarah is having a baby next month and her shower was on Saturday. I already gave her a hat and blanket but this is her first baby so there is still a lot of things she needs.
I decided to make a nursing cover and a car seat tent. The nursing cover is a total "craft-lift" from my friend Lindsay's blog. I really liked the colors that Lindsay used. Sarah is having a boy so I didn't want to make the cover too girly. I went and picked out the fabric at Joann's and didn't realize until today when I looked at Lindsay's blog that I got pretty much the same fabric. I think it turned out pretty cute...but as cute as it is, and no matter how much Sarah loved it, I'm pretty sure I am never going to make one again. This project was the biggest pain in the neck. With putting in the boning, sewing the straps, pressing every seam, oh my goodness! Forget it!

| I love how this turned out! I love making the car seat tents. |

I lined the inside with black flannel so that the cover could be used as a blanket in a pinch. I also added jumbo rick rac for a little "flair"
After I was finished making these gifts, I had to get back to working on my hats. I had some orders I needed to finish by Sunday night.
