They turned out very cute and my 4 year old especially loves her "car seat blanket". I had a hard time keeping everything lined up with pins when attaching the hood to the body so I just did a quick basting stitch by hand and that helped keep everything together Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-142054759538596223.post-48611044841462079522014-11-29T08:52:29.857-05:002014-11-29T08:52:29.857-05:00Hi Anna!

These are not the jackets that I would have them wear if they were going to playing outside in the colder temperatures, but they do help to reduce the chill and are thin enough that I don't have to adjust the car seat straps. We're located in the south east, so it doesn't get very cold down here.

I can see why that would be good to have to walk to the car though since it would keep their back warm. Do you have your little one walk to the car with jacket and then take off once in car to put on the poncho?<br />Thx!

Those circumstances, whether really good (marriage, children, or home ownership) or just plain hard (illness, death, or some other great loss), can easily be twisted by Satan. He can spin things in just the right way to break our hearts and tear apart relationships. But God has promised that a bruised reed will not be broken (Is. 42:3). He is ALL POWERFUL!
