So I have been sewing lately. When we found out that baby #3 was a boy, Rich was ecstatic at the thought that he would finally have his little Luke Skywalker. Naturally, Star Wars was the theme for the nursery. We enlisted the help of our graphic-designer friend, Mike Nixon, to help us come up with a mural for the nursery wall. The mural ideas evolved into a series of prints that Mike designed that could be framed and hung on the wall of the Star Wars characters as kids, doing fun-kid-things (www.nixongraphix.com/swkids.html). Then, Melinda and I had a crazy thought...what if we could custom fabric printed of his graphics to use in the nursery? Well, we found spoonflower.com and the rest was history. Mike turned his prints into a fabric for quilting and a coordinating patterned fabric that can be purchased at spoonflower.com. How amazing!
Then, after many hours of unpicking and ironing, cutting and sewing, and following this carseat recovering tutorial, Melinda and I turned the old carseat (sorry I didn't take more "before pictures of just the carseat):
into this work of art ready for our little Luke to make his debut!
