Is it really winter?

So today was a pretty, sunny, lukewarm winter day. I thought it would be perfect for sitting on the porch and sewing; listening to music and taking in the sun.

I finally finished my car sprucing with a pair of seatbelt covers for the back seat.

Once again, the thought of taking step by step photos escaped me, but I think the process is pretty self-explanatory.

• First, you'll need some felt. Get a couple of sheets, white is fine... and it's usually less than a dollar. Easy.
• The next step is to measure and cut the felt so that it will wrap around the seatbelt, folded like a brochure. This will help you measure and cut your fabric.
• Use the felt to cut out the fabric squares for the cover. I used two different fabrics so that it will be reversible, but you can use one pattern if you like. You could even do the inside fold with a solid and the outside with a pattern. Whatever floats your tater. Do not cut it the same size as the felt, leave about 1/2'' on every side.
• Sew the sides together, with the good side of the fabric facing inward. Sew it around 3 1/2 sides, leaving a slit to insert your felt.
• Turn it inside out, and place your felt flat inside. It should not be lumpy. Sew the slit closed like you would a pillow.
• After this, I placed a seam around the perimeter to secure the felt inside.
• Lastly, place some velcro on it. Tada.

For your enjoyment, I found him in my sewing basket. Can you say, aww! =^.^=
