Car seat recovering ...

Today I decided that Matty's old seat had the better clips and adjusters, even though the cover was in poor shape, thinning and with small tears!



I took it to pieces, put the straps in water to clean them and washed the seat frame of its grime and sand! Then flatten out the old cover by removing the elastic edge, and use it to make a pattern for a new seat! It looks much to big spread out like this!




and here we have Mary's soft new cover, complete with the 'seatbelt snugglies' she requested!

Car seats and a little thank you!

After some grunting and talking to myself today, the three seats in my car all match, and I have 2 9m+ car seats to release into the local community via freecycle! Matty and Daisy have moved up to back-and-booster seats and Mary is in Daisy's which I shared the recovering of on my blog, sometime ago!



And this little chicken is another thank you gift - quite fond of chickens these days!

I have been ...

Putting Skinny-chicken the doorstop to work at the back door ... the children love her so much, they stop and pick her up for a cuddle ... the door closes!



Running up some fresh and funky bunting from some genuine found-in-a-loft fabrics ...



Finally using up some old press-studs on Jackets for Edward Tulanes! Wont get any more at the price, or that place! The half-pence coin was axed when I was around 12 years old. We collected them up in school for charity.



Covering a chair seat, and all of my small cushions with fresh new fabrics ... and then I covered a chair seat in fabric from a skirt that shrank in the wash!



Watched the Fuzzies admire the new colours!
