Baby carrier cover

I finally finished a cover for my baby carrier ... just in time for spring! It's been finished enough to be useful for a while but I just put the final finishing touches on it last weekend. I had the bright idea to sew myself a cover so I could make it just like I wanted and so I could use some cute fabric that my mom had given me. I think that with my baby brain I forgot the reason I was making a baby carrier cover was because I had a baby and therefore very little free time! It wasn't a big project really but the baby wasn't sleeping well so my sewing time was split into 20-minute chunks, making it very difficult to get anything done! I wished many times that I had just bought one but now that it's finished I'm very happy with it.

It looks a bit like a pillowcase but it's very functional. I made good use of my snap press so there are tabs to keep the hood rolled up and the inner cozy part can be taken out if I just want a light water-repellent cover. It's handy in the stroller too.

Once again I'm telling myself no more projects for a little while ... but I do want to try another bikini for the summer ...
