A new baby car seat cover

I have a new baby niece born last week.  Little miss Lauren Jane is the sweetest thing, with a head of soft brown hair and looking just like my lovely sister-in-law.

For a gift, I made her a car seat cover from the tutorial I made in January.

The fabric was too sweet for words with racoons, birthbaths, birdhouses, and little birds in the trees.  I fell in love.

Does anyone know what this fabric is called?  And from whom?  I cut off the selvages when I bought the fabric and didn’t write it down.

Making my first car seat cover for a little girl, I was compelled to embellish a bit more.  So I added the rick rack.  It helped the fabrics work together just they way I wanted.

For the inside fabric, I used a tender little floral print in pink.  I was so happy with how it turned out.

Since I’m posting about car seat covers, I thought I would also share the cowboy car seat cover I made for my dearest friend, and her new little boy born in April.  I gave it to her months ago, but never shared a picture.

This Alexander Henry cowboy fabric is so darn cute.  I’ve used it before, and I would use it again if I could.  I made a border all the way around the top, which turned out great.  One of the things I love about making this cover, is as long as the overall dimensions end up the same, you can do whatever suits your fancy.

If you have a new baby in your life, a baby car seat cover makes a very useful and thoughtful gift.
