another diy update.

Front view.
The inside.
CAR SEAT COVER:
I finally finished the cover I made for our car seat.  It was overall pretty easy and the tutorial I followed was really straight-forward, Car Seat Tutorial.







Once again I only loosely followed it but just in my design decisions.  I decided to make my cover with canvas and I decided to do stripes.  I love stripes.  I used a red flannel for the inside. As with other projects, I decidedly stuck to gender neutral colors and designs.
The final product.

Embroidery Project.
So, I decided I wanted to try my hand at hand-stitching something.  This is what I decided to make.  I just used some canvas and free-handed the phrases I wanted onto it.  The second phrase is the same as the first only in Hungarian.  I used embroidery thread for the stitching.  It was really fun.  Just need to frame it and get it on the wall.

  1. Very cute! I love that you're getting all these done early. I think I made mine at 37 weeks, haha. Great job!

    1. Thanks Shirley, I decided to just do it when I felt like it, which is good because I feel like I've been losing a bit of my drive lately. It was good to see you briefly tonight, I'm sad I couldn't stay and chat. :(

  3. The car seat cover came out awesome! And I love the hand stitching. That's a great idea for baby room decor!

    1. Thanks Alexis, I really liked how they both turned out, and the embroidery ended up only taking a few hours in total at the most, so that's always nice.
