We did it!

So I have this friend who thinks I can do anything crafty. I don't usually have that much faith in myself. So I get this call from her one day and she was telling me about an idea of something she wanted to make, now mind you she doesn't sew that much. She had come across a car seat cover on the internet that was $100, crazy I know. So she decides we should make one. I get a little nervous because I don't do well without a pattern, I can sew but I am not creative. I decide to do a little research online(thank you Google) to see how I might make this work. So we head to the store to get some material and come home and start figuring out how we are going to do this. We use wax paper to help trace the shape of the car seat. We cut out the pattern and Liz starts to sew it together, at this point I am there for moral support. After we get it sewn and some elastic in it, it is time for me to do some button holes. I don't know why but button holes and I don't get along, but we don't. I practice 4 or 5 times and feel comfortable so I start to sew the first one on the material and what do you know I mess it up. I rip out the stitches and tell Liz I have to take a break. After a couple of days of recovery I head back over to finish the button holes. After many trials I finally am finished. All in all I think it turned out great. I'm glad to have friends that have so much faith in my abilities. Thanks a lot.
