seat belt covers

Any idea where I might get any patterns to make these, or sew. Haven't had
any luck. Tania

Tania,
These folks sell them, and maybe they can help you.

The ones I've bought are very simple but also very cheap. So I just bought
them rather than making them myself. I recently bought 2 more for an office
chair with hard plastic arms. They fit fine, look fine, and feel much
better on my bare arms in the summer than the plastic.

Each is a square that's twice as wide as the seat belt plus twice as wide
as the velcro strip. They can be made of pre-quilted material, sheep skin,
faux fur, or more often, two layers sewn together and turned to make a
double-layer square. Be sure to add seam allowances in that case. Then put
velcro along two facing edges and fold it round the belt, meshing the
velcro. Or around a chair arm, in my case.

Of course you could make them longer; a rectangle rather than a square.
That's the beauty of making your own.
