Car Seat Cover

Mom and I both found this pattern on Pinterest.  I was planning to make it for Molly and so was Mom.  Good thing we talked or Molly would have ended up with 2.  And Mom's would have looked better.  So we joined forces and did it together.  It took us 2 nights . . . I did the sewing, Mom did the ironing.  I'm really proud of it and I think we should make them for baby gifts.  Very useful and I wish I would have had one when B was born and then of course C could have used it too.

The most interesting thing about this whole process - I found out about the '1/4 inch foot' for a sewing machine.  I call it the 'cheater foot' because you could close your eyes and sew straight.  So, really . . . all those people who look like great seamstress' probably just have the cheater foot and we'd never know.  Wanted to steal mom's but then I realized she wouldn't be able to sew straight without it.  I'm going to get myself one!
