Well I didn't get around to making myself one and my sweet little boy is almost out of his infant seat but I made one for my best friend who is having a baby girl at the end of April.
I used these websites as inspiration:
- http://workmanfamily.typepad.com/our_life/2010/08/car-seat-blanket-tutorial.html
- http://hipposanddinosaurs.blogspot.com/2009/12/carseat-tent-tutorial.html

Supplies:
2 pieces of fabric- 1 yard each
Ribbon about 3/4 yard cut in half (two equal pieces)
Sewing Machine
Pins
- Place fabric good side to good side. Pin pieces together, then sew leaving about 5 inches unsown so that you can turn it right side out.
- Turn fabric right side out and flatten. Iron the whole thing making nice edges.
- Sew around the edge to finish it nicely and sew in the 5 inches you missed before.
- Attach the ribbon. Either with machine or hand sewn.
My modification was adding ribbon as the handle fastener rather then strips of fabric. I have also used snaps instead of Velcro... personal preference.
