Couple of things I need from you on the car seat things:
1. How much fabric do you need per car seat? You will need 6 of the same size fabric
2. What kind of fabric do you need?
3. What else do I need to get? ribbon, velcro, etc
Once I know how much fabric to get I will start looking around here or online for fabric I like. Once I find fabric I will need to get address to mail it to you
Thanks

Re: Kelli
1) Some tutorials say you need only 1 yard of outer fabric, and one yard of interior fabric, then a small additional amount to make the velcro straps for the handle. Another tutorial calls for 1 and a 1/3 yard of outer, 1 and a 1/3 yard of inner fabric.
To be on the safe side (and since you will want to have the velcro straps, yes?) go for 1 and a 1/3 yard for the inner/outer (so 2 and 2/3 yardage per cover).
Here are some:

2) You could do a cotton print for the outer, and a flannel for the inner, but it's completely up to you. Check out the tutorials above and let me know what you want.
eta*** I forgot to mention I saw some on pinterest that look like they were made with fleece (for the colder months). I could do that too. Just let me know!
3) I already have some velcro that may work, so dont worry about that
How many would you like me to make for you, I forget LOL.
One thing Im a little worried about is where to place the velcro straps. The second tutorial tells me where (scroll down to number 13 on that site)...but if you have a car seat check to make sure those measurements sound right to you, if you dont mind.
Sorry I didnt reply back so soon, I have been so busy this weekend, hope you enjoyed yours!
I will check these out tonight when I get home. I would have done it earlier but I have been sick and just haven't felt like doing much.
Thanks so much!
Oh, dont worry about being in a rush, Im not. I hope you feel better, thats what is more important right now!
You just let me know whenever.
