Modest Mommies: Cozy Car Seats and More

Welcome to My Modest Blog!

I've always been a crafty person. I love the visual arts and just like to create things. I tend to stare at each item in awe when it is complete... thinking "I made this!?" Call me a hopeless romantic, but the old days had it right in many ways, including traditional homemaking. I've been hobby sewing and crafting since I was a little girl. But in recent years, I found it necessary to sew clothes for my girls to keep them modestly dressed. While nursing my babies, I began making nursing covers for myself and friends. I've also done furniture restoration, crocheting, baking, painting/drawing, photography and more. Enjoying these feminine crafts and other projects has made me want to share my ideas and talents.

I hope to provide you with great ideas and quality products that will "keep you covered!" Some items will be available at an Etsy Shop. Also enjoy my tips and examples on this blog!

Cozy Car Seats and More

I had fun sewing these CAR SEAT CANOPIES for our baby. They were a real eye catcher when we were in town at church, grocery shopping, eating out… got a few requests for my business card! Exciting because I just made my card and opened my shop!

So I worked out the kinks of my samples, and made my first items for sale!

Bee Loved Car Seat Canopy Set $30
>with bonus tootsie cover and strap covers!

And I made this stylish, matching "Dairy Go" NURSING COVER that will go on Etsy as soon as its ironed! :)

This hard to find bee flannel was one of my favorites, so I made one item for myself. A SPILL STOPPER sheet protector for easy cleanup of baby's spitup or wet pjs in our bed. Less than one yard of flannel, backed with a diaper vinyl fabric. Worked its magic the first night! A good idea for potty training too, perhaps adding a terry cloth layer in-between for extra absorption.
