What a Girl Wants, What a Girl Needs: Peer Pressure Edition

After saying I needed a few boppy covers, numerous people told me/commented that I should use my 'skills' and make them. This had crossed my mind, but I knew it would require effort and honestly I just don't want to do anything these days except sit and watch The Daily Show on my DVR. But I caved to the pressure and gave it a whirl. I found a tutorial online (there are only about 1.7 trillion links to one if you do a google search!) and found one that was pretty basic. So basic that I could have figured it out on my own. Anyway!

I just traced the slipcover I had onto some freezer paper, ironed the freezer paper to some cute material, cut, sewed and I came up with this:

I carefully pointed out a few flaws (and my toe) and put a baby in it...well, just because I could. This cover is a little snug, especially around the middle section. So the next one I'll make sure I cut a little bigger. I'm not sure I cut big enough for the seam allowance. I don't have a zipper big enough for it right now so I'm debating on whether or not to purchase a bigger zipper or go for the zipper's cheaper, easier sister Velcro. I'm also debating on whether or not to just use the cotton I have in my stash or find some soft knit to try.

 Once I actually got off my tookus and DID it, it really only took me about an hour tops and saved me $10-15. And it's a good thing I bought a second boppy, cause I may not be getting this one back.
