Our infant carseat was a hand-me-down for our first baby. It was a super blessing for us...but for baby #2, on the way, I was really hoping for a way to give the carseat a face lift. The carseat's fabric was totally worn out and in desperate need of an update.
Once again...I find myself on Pinterest and I came across this DIY tutorial for recovering your infant carseat.
I have an amazing mother-in-law who knows every trick in the book for sewing. She is a major quilter and has been sewing forever! I am just learning to sew and so I was super nervous to attempt such an important project on my own for fear that I would mess it up and we would end up having to buy a brand new carseat...my husband would be FURIOUS!!!
Thankfully, my mother-in-law just went to town with this tutorial and was able to follow it very easily and get the project down. The tutorial is so well written and detailed with pictures. I am so pleased with the final result!!!
Here are the before and after pictures. The fabric that I bought for the carseat was a thick "outdoor canvas" from JoAnne's Fabric.
