I had seen these before and thought they were cool... so I found a tutorial online and made one for my cousin Jessica who is due to have her first baby boy, Sam, in about a month.
The black straps go over the handles so the material doesn't fall off the seat or smother the baby. I gave it to her before she received her car seat, so I gambled on whether it would fit. Lucky for me, it does!
I love the blog, Heiders! It is a great way to keep your ideas in order and for me to see your new talent. Quite the susie homemaker, huh? It really is such a useful skill and I truly do admire you getting so into it and wanting to help others. My friend gave me her old one, and I barely know how it works so when you come out soon you can sit down with me and really get me going. What do you say?:) Love ya!
Named after my first mission president's wife, Bessie is my tool to help others, as I feel the urge to follow in her footsteps. I watched Bessie Barney as she lovingly and selflessly devoted her time and talents to everything she did. She was an excellent seamstress, and made sure each missionary knew she could fix any article of clothing that needed it. She encouraged us to bring them to meetings, where she quickly and graciously worked on each item with a smile on her face, interacting with everyone individually as she did so. As I reflect on her using the skills she possessed to help others, I want to do the same. This is my attempt.
