Week 4 already! I got this week's project finished on Sunday, so I've been waiting all week to post it! I've posted about car cozies before, so this is nothing new. I finally have one that's going to stay at home. My little boy is 19 months old and he loves cars! Couple that with a great sale on Matchbox and Hot Wheels and how could I not make one for him?!?
Since he's still little, I thought a straight road and a gas station would be enough. I used fabric paint for the numbers. I like that it's feely, adding another element for distraction! I didn't do a great job with centering the letters, so I added the dots to fill the space a little, and I really like them. They offer something tangible to count to go along with the numbers.
I added a little loop to the gas pump to tuck the spout? into. This turned out to be quite helpful for keeping it out of the way when I was sewing it!
Complete with a car that looks kinda like Grandma's. I think he will love it!
Last year, I decided that I want to make something special for my kids each Christmas. Last year I made them hooded towels which they still use. I'm going to start on my daughter's gift this weekend, I hope. She's 6, so it's a little harder to surprise her. She's too curious!
How about you? If you've kept up with me, you only have one more gift to make to be entered to with the $25 gift certificate from Connecting Threads!

awesome, awesome, awesome. I love the way you did the numbers; great learning tool.
Ollie still loves his! I know Jacob will love it too!
Cute! I have 3 little girls, but they love to play with cars, too.
I am right on track with my homemade gifts. I even made dog biscuits last weekend for all my friends/family with dogs.
