I just bought a new car and decided to retire my old furry steering wheel cover. I soon found that it's impossible to find cool covers anymore. While in my closet I found a scrap of fabric I used to make a really cool lime zebra skirt a few years ago. I light bulb went off in my head and I ended up with the most awesome car decoration ever! After that I found another scrap of steampunky clock fabric to do the tutorial. Enjoy!

You Will Need (3 things)

  • 2 yd 1/4" Elastic
  • Thread
  • 1 yd 44" Fabric

Steps (5 steps, 75 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut out fabric to 44" x 4.5". (I like to cut out the pattern on a piece of wrapping paper first so I can use it later without having to measure again.)

  2. 2

    Fold the long edges in about 1/2" and press.

  3. 3

    Sew the short ends together then sew up the sides that were pressed down to make piping for the elastic. Be sure to leave the seams open 1/2" to pull the elastic through.

  4. 4

    Attach the elastic end to a pin. It makes it easier to feed through the piping. Feed it through then sew the ends of the elastic. Sew the seams shut. Repeat on the other side.

  5. 5

    Hoozah! You now have a steering wheel cover that's almost as awesome as you.
