I've seen lots of cute car seat canopies made with minky, so I decided to give it a shot.
What do you think?
Sewing the minky wasn't too horrible - it was cutting it to size that gave me a headache. And the fact that you can't iron it. That's all I'm going to say.
Once it was all sewn up, I thought it was going to look horrible - the two layers didn't seem quite the same size at first. But when I put it on the car seat, it draped quite nicely. Yay!
I couldn't just settle for a plain canopy, so I made things interesting for myself and added a little strip across the front.
And I made it reversible, because - well, why not?
Anyway. It's up for sale in my Etsy shop. One thing down, on to the next. I can't wait to share my next project with you! I just need to bind and photograph it. :) Here's a shot of my initial fabric pull:
