Lookey What I Made!

In an effort to save Sophie's car seat from any pee accidents I decided to make my very own pee pad, you can buy them in the various baby stores, but I figured I could just as easily make my own and save myself the 9 bucks. I took some measurements of the seating area of her carseat and made a pattern, from there I cut two layers of an old terry cloth hand towel out for absorbency and of course you need a waterproof layer so it doesn't get all over the car seat and for that I used an old crib mattress pad liner. I sewed them all together and poof....Meg's Pee Pad is created....well Soph's Pee Pad, but I made it!!! For a final touch to make it pretty I used left over Princess fabric to cover it and make it pretty. So, I guess in this case it will be OK if she pees on the Princesses! I took some pictures of the pee pad in the making and the final product. It did not occur to me to take pictures until I had already had the pee pad inside the cover and I was not taking it out so you can get the basic idea of how I layered it all together from the pictures. Needless to say I am VERY proud of myself, not only for making this, but saving myself a little money in the process, oh and it fits PERFECTLY in the car seat, it is out there now awaiting Sophie's beautiful little Princess Buns!
