Project # 1 Girl up the car seat

After starting out our little family with a boy I bought very gender neutral things, so i thought. When I got out the infant seat to wash and make ready for the new baby I felt that it looked more Boy than neutral. Off to Joann's Fabrics I went in search of a solution. I stumbled across the cutest fabric in the world and decided to create a cover for the car seat. With no pattern mind you.

Here are the results! What do you think?

It took me about 4 hours to do. It was my first one so I was experimenting with ways to make a pattern. I think for my next one is will be much simpler and take less time. Super easy tho.
