cars & bunnies

I made a few things for my boy for his birthday.  First is the cozy car caddy.  I saw this and knew I had to make one.  I plan for it to live in the diaper bag.  You know, something that we take with us and can whip out when he gets bored at the restaurant or won't stop eating dirt at the beach.  It's made out of a pair of Eric's old pants and a pillowcase we had lying around.  I didn't have enough cars to put in it so I improvised and put some toys inside too.  In all honestly, he could care less about the caddy - all he cares about are the toys inside.

The other gift...new pants.  The pattern comes from a pair of existing pants that I traced.  I made two pair - one out of the bunny fabric shown below (cute, no?) and then a pair out of some linen I had been wanting to use.  Both pairs are borderline too small for his big ole cloth diaper butt (who wants the "hand-me-downs?") so next time I'll be sure to make a bigger pattern.
