Who Woulda' Thunk It?

Janette taking on a sewing project...not so much! Okay, so occasionally I do like to sew and try new things, but the truth is, I'm too much of a perfectionist and so I usually won't attempt a project on my own. I'm scared that it won't turn out as perfectly as I have envisioned it, and that would lead to frustration and disappointment. So, I usually abandon the idea as quickly as it came...unless mom is nearby. Well, for some reason, I decided that I would take one of the car seats that my sister so lovingly saved for me and give it a new look (she had two gently used seats left over from her twins from seven years ago and mom and dad have been storing them in the basement for me). I took one of the covers apart piece by piece and before I knew it, I was kicking myself thinking I should've left well enough alone. The seat was in really good shape, after all. Anyway, with a little guidance, encouragement and direction from Louise and Rebecca, I got enough confidence and dove in. I have to say, the seat is far from perfect and for some reason, my perfectionist personality is quite okay with it. That's a huge surprise...maybe I'm letting go...this is a good thing. Anyway, here are some pics of the results. I put one of the old car seats next to my new cover so you could have a reference point. Can you even tell which one is the new one? Mom would be so proud!
