Posted on 16. Jul, 2011 by Trish.

A friend recently posted how to do this on a sewing forum I’m a part of and I thought it was genius.  I guess technically it’s not a hem, but it’s a great way to finish off the edges, likes sleeves or the bottom of shirts, etc. I just had to take picture of the [...]

I’ve been seeing these cute infant car seat covers, also known as a car seat tent, car seat canopy, or a car seat hanging blanket everywhere I look here.  Basically it’s a blanket that hangs over the car seat, but attaches to the handle, so you can still use the handle.  They help keep out [...]
