Well, since P has officially outgrown his infant car seat, we will be moving him to the toddler/convertible car seat. Of course, we have a car seat cover for C's, and we were thinking we would just buy another for P -- problem is that I cannot find one like C's ANYwhere. Apparently they do not make them anymore. Worse news? C's is starting to need repairs, as the edges are fraying pretty badly. The worst news of all? If you look online for anything close to what I am looking for, you will see that they can run anywhere up to $118. Yes, $118. Good news? The $118 cover comes with free shipping..... And well it should for that cost!
Most of the ones that I see are about $80, so Mommy decided she would start looking for a pattern and fabric to make her own. I found one that I think is just fitting for us -- http://www.makethemyourself.com/ -- or specifically http://www.makethemyourself.com/toddler.html. She also has patterns for the Robeez-type leather shoes. You gotta take a look!
By the way, I also found the fabrics that I will make them in. For C I will use a pirate theme (maybe http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=cat3162&PRODID=xprd509607&source=search) and for P I will use Eric Carle's Very Hungry Caterpillar (http://www.fabric.com/quilting-fabric-shop-by-category-children-39-s-cotton-fabrics-the-very-hungry-caterpillar.aspx). I may be biting off more than I can chew, but I'm so excited.
