When it comes to car seats, it’s important to make sure your child is as safe as possible while they are in the car. One way to do this is by using seat covers. Seat covers can help keep your child warm and protect them from the sun and rain. However, many people don’t know how to make their own seat covers from towels. In this article, we will teach you how to do just that. By following our tips, you will be able to create a seat cover that is both stylish and effective.
What You’ll Need
Looking for a way to make car seat covers from towels? Follow these simple steps to get started!
You’ll need:
-Towels of different sizes and shapes
-Thread or yarn
-Scissors
-Pins or a sewing machine
1. Begin by measuring your car seat cover’s width and length. Add 1 inch to each measurement for seam allowance. Cut out your chosen towel accordingly. Note: If you are using a towel of a different size than the car seat cover, you will need to adjust the measurements accordingly.
2. Next, measure the height and width of your car seat cover’s straps. Again, add 1 inch for seam allowance. Cut out a strip of fabric that is 2 inches wide by as long as your strap measurement. Repeat with the other side of the towel.
How to Make Car Seat Covers From Towels
Assuming you have some fabric left over from making a towel sarong for your friend or family member, now is the time to turn it into car seat covers. You’ll need some fabric stiffener (such as starch or basting agent) and a straight ruler or piece of chalkboard.
1. Begin by measuring your car’s headrests according to their dimensions on the towel sarong you made. For both sides, leave about an inch of extra fabric at each end so that when you sew them together, the covers will hem in on the ends.
2. Begin by folding one of the ends of the towel sarong in half and ironing it flat with an iron hot enough to melt butter onto its surface (but not too hot!). Then unfold it so that it resembles a business card and measure out 1 1/2 inches from one corner towards the center of the folded edge (the measurement should be even all around). Mark this spot with a pencil.
3. Fold up the other end of the towel sarong until it matches in size to what you just measured out, then mark another spot along its edge with a pencil about 1 inch away from where you folded it up. This is your starting point for sewing your first patchwork panel together!
4. Sew one side of the patchwork panel opposite where you marked your starting point (i.e., if your starting point was at corner A, then sew side B opposite
Tips for Making a Great Car Seat Cover
When it comes to car seats, a cover is a must have accessory. Not only is it necessary to keep your child safe while in the car, but many covers also provide extra warmth on cold days or during summer months. But what are the best ways to make a car seat cover? In this article, we will discuss some tips for making a great car seat cover from towels.
The first thing you need to consider is the size of your towel. Unless your towel is specifically designed as a carseat cover, you will want to sizing it down by at least one inch. Next, cut the towel into an appropriate shape. If you are using a rectangular towel, you will want to evenly divide it into thirds and then cut each third in half. If you are using a round towel, simply cut out circles and then fold them in half. The final step is to sew the edges of each piece together so that they form a continuous seam.
Now that you have your fabric pieces ready, it’s time to figure out how you are going to attach them to the car seat. One option is to use Velcro straps or buttons. However, if you would like something more discreet than straps or buttons, there are plenty of decorative options available such as zippers or snaps. Once everything is attached, all that’s left is to add some extra padding around the edges of the cover in order to ensure snug fit and maximum protection foryour child
Final Thoughts
If you have children old enough to ride in a car without a booster seat, now is the time to start thinking about what to do about their car seats. Many parents choose to cover their child’s car seats with towels or sheets, but there are many other creative and stylish ways to protect your child’s safety while driving. Here are some final thoughts on how to make car seat covers from towels:
1. Start by gathering your supplies. You will need some towels, some sewing supplies, and a bit of patience.
2. Cut the towel into a rectangular shape that will fit snugly over your child’s car seat (or booster seat). Make sure that the towel hangs evenly over both sides of the seat, and be sure not to stretch it too much or it may start to tear.
3. Sew the towel around the edges using a zigzag stitch or running stitch. This will help keep it together while your child is driving.
4. When you’re finished, carefully tuck the ends of the towel under the edge of the carseat (or booster seat), then smooth out any wrinkles before putting your child in the car for transport.
