This one goes out to all my LADIES!

So this will be much faster than typing all the steps for the car seat canopy to each of you ladies! The babycenter top dogs won't let me just say "hey, it's on this blog so come check it out!" Something about some people get paid when their blog is looked at? pssshh I wish!

Drum Roll PLEASE…….Here are the steps to making your very own Car Seat Canopy!

What you’ll need:
1 ¼ yard of fabric for the outside (fabric shown to the world)
1 ¼ yard of fabric for the inside (fabric your baby will be staring at)
2 snaps (or 2 inches of Velcro)
2 big decorative buttons (I like doing contrasting colors here)
And of course your sewing machine, scissors, and thread!
Tip! When you buy your fabric, make sure that both selections are the same width or else you’ll have to cut one down to size so it matches the other side.

Lets begin!

STEP 1: Cut each piece of fabric 1 yard long. You will now have two pieces of fabric that are twins (matching all the way around). Put fabric together so pretty side is facing in. Get a dinner plate and place on each corer, tracing with a circle to round out the edges. Cut fabric so you have a nice curve at each corner of your fabric.
STEP 2: With your extra fabric, cut out two pieces (about 8 inches long and 2 ½ inches across) of fabric. This will be for your straps. Pin with pretty sides facing inward.

STEP 3: Sew a straight stich around your large (blanket) fabric and on each strip. Make sure to leave an opeing for yourself so you can turn your fabric right side out so the pretty side shows and no seams do

STEP 4: When you turn your fabric right side out, fold in the opening just a bit and sew shut. You can now sew a more decorative stitch along your edges if you’d like. It’s cute but not needed and don’t forget to do your two strips also
STEP 5: Now lay out your canopy, find the middle of your canopy and pin the strips down. You’ll want to make sure you find the midline of your canopy and keep the strips about 3 inches apart.

STEP 6: Make two stitches across the width of your strips on either side of your midline.

STEP 7: Now take your canopy over to your carseat and pin the straps where you want your Velcro or Snaps to go. Sew on your Velcro or snaps. Sew on your decorative button and you are all done!

SEE!!! Not to bad eh?!

Good luck ladies!! I'll have to add pictures with each step soon :) I'll probably be making another one in a couple days or so
