Car Seat Cover W/Window

So I fell in love with a car seat cover at a boutique this summer, and thought I'd give it a try. It was a bit tricky to figure out some of the steps since I only had pictures to look at, but I'm pretty happy with the result-especially since it was my 1st time sewing vinyl.
The thing I like best about this is the window. So your baby can see out, and people can see in without opening up the cover. This is especially nice if you have a baby during flu/RSV season like I will.

I love that she made the flap so in case your baby is asleep, they can stay that way when changing environments. :)
I'm still trying to decide if I want to venture out and make a tutorial for this or not. I am in no wise savvy on proper sewing techniques or lingo. But if you'd like to know how, please let me know in a comment. Maybe once the hustle and bustle of Christmas crafting is over for me I'll type one up...

Aubrey! I am SOOOO impressed. Holy cow, I could NEVER EVER figure that out with just using pictures. If I had babies, I would totally want a tutorial, so I'd imagine of your friends who do have kids, they'd probably love to make one. But's that my take. :)
