I'm totally loving our new IKEA ANTILOP highchair, it's sleek, inexpensive.. but also pretty boring. So, I thought I'd jazz it up a little!
Using a (FREE!) pattern from BurdaStyle, I whipped up this little gem in about 30 minutes or so. I plan on making more since they are machine washable, easy and so fun!
If you own an ANITLOP highchair and would like to make your own, the pattern can be found (AGAIN: FREE!) HERE.
Ta-da!

CAPSLOCK IS TOTALLY NECESSARY.
Just the other day, I was going through my craft area, organizing and doing some spring cleaning. I stumbled upon the inexpensive trainwreck mini sewing machine. I paid $15 for that thing at Jo-Ann.. Yeah, it was definitely a piece of garbage. It made learning to sew and actually tackling projects so incredibly frustrating, that I gave up really quickly. This was literally almost two years ago. I have no idea why I kept it all this time. I probably didn't want to completely give up.. I didn't want to accept total defeat. Anyways.. Blah, blah.. Well, when I dug it out of storage and while I was tempted to try again.. I decided against it and tossed it in the donate pile.
Then, the next day we're out thrifting as a family (that's how we roll) and we found this amazing gem!
DRUMROLL..
$20! AND IT WORKS.
I've already mastered the art of threading it and I've begun tackling some fun projects. The best part? IT WORKS AND I AM TOTALLY TEACHING MYSELF TO USE IT. It's awesome.
The law of attraction, man. It works.
