Here is a project I have had in mind for probably about a year. I finally got so annoyed with stuff all over my car that I set out to actually do the project this weekend. With L being sick sleeping most of the weekend and C with is grandparents, I had plenty of time.
I use to have these ugly faded seat back covers. I always thought they needed pockets in them, but they were also a bit too small and the ties at the top were a bit too far apart. See how it pulls and makes it bunch up? So, I decided to make custom seat back covers.
L went shopping with me Friday just before she got really sick and picked out her fabric. She was totally set on this pink with polk-a-dots. It actually was great because it went well with the black for the cover. I picked C's fabric, blue and black are his favorite colors. But, I really don't think it matters because he is just so excited to have pockets. He LOVES pockets.
Look at that mess on the floor! Then, look how nicely everything has it's place.
Again, another mess in-between seats where the jackets are kept... Until now, there is a nice pocket just perfect for that jacket.
Here is a picture of both seat back covers. C's bottom pocket is a bit heavy, so I may add some boning to the back behind the bottom pocket.
Yes, L has tissue and C has an extra pocket for toys because L is constantly asking me for a tissue. She can't stand having anything in her nose and blows it probably about once every car ride.
Look what I made with just some of the scraps of fabric...
Isn't it lovely boy bias tape? Plus, I still have a ton of fabric left over.

I love it! And I bet it cost so much less than buying one, or two!! ;o) What kind of material did you use for the backing?? I'm wondering if I could get away with something like this. I have 4 kiddos, and I used to have one (from the store) when they were really little. I started dumping things into a bag, and I'm FINALLY getting rid of the famous diaper/junk bank this spring. Can't wait! Anyway, love it, can't wait to hear back from ya!

ReplyDeleteI write a comment when I like a article on a site or if
ReplyDeleteI have something to contribute to the discussion. It is caused by the fire communicated in the article I
browsed. And after this article "Car Organization".
I was actually excited enough to drop a commenta response :-P I actually
do have a few questions for you if it's okay. Is it simply me or does it look like some of the remarks come across as if they are left by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are posting at other places, I would like to keep up with everything fresh you have to post.
