Accessorize the interior of your car with this colorful, handmade steering wheel cover. It will bring a bit more style to an otherwise boring space, and your hands will thank you.
The idea to make my own steering wheel cover has been floating around in my head for quite some time. I don’t like how covers you buy from the store always smell like an auto parts store and end up making the car also smell like an auto parts store. Plus they are always black or gray or brown, which aren’t exactly the cutest colors out there. I also wanted a cute new steering wheel cover because I am borrowing my parent’s car while they are living out of the country and I wanted to add some of my own flair to the car. (I don’t think they would appreciate me slapping some bumper stickers on it, even though that would jazz things up.) Plus the one already in the car is that pleather material that burns your hands if it’s hot, which it often is. I never made one, though, because I thought it would be hard to do. Well I am happy to report that it is not hard at all, and in fact this turned out to be a really quick and easy project. Check it out! Cute, soft, unburnable, and free of auto parts store smell. Success! Now that you’re super pumped to sew your own steering wheel cover, here’s what you need: Fabric: I used cotton fabric. The amount you need depends on the size of your steering wheel so measure that first. I also used some fleece to make the cover cushy. Elastic: I used ¼ inch elastic. First you need to measure your steering wheel, like so: It was rather difficult to get a shot of this with one hand while trying to hold the tape on with the other hand, but what I do for my readers! Make sure your measuring tape is nice an tight so you get the right measurement. If you make it too long the cover could be baggy. Add ½” for seam allowance. You also need to figure out the width of the cover, so measure the steering wheel again like so: After measuring add ½” to 1” seam allowance, depending on how big your elastic is. For my steering wheel, the measurements were 40” long and 4 ½” wide (that includes both seam allowances.) After getting your measurements it’s time to cut out the fabric. Just cut a single strip in the length and width you need. Then cut a strip of fleece to the same length, but take ½” off the width. Next, fold and press the sides of the fabric strip to make a casing for the elastic to go through. I folded mine over ¼” and another slightly over ¼”. Pin down and sew the casing on the inner edge. Next, take the fleece and sew it down to the back of the outer fabric. If you want to make it extra cushy, sew down a double layer of fleece. Now it’s time to put in the elastic, which I never enjoy doing. First, cut two pieces of elastic that are the exact length of your steering wheel, in my case it was 39 ½”. Attach a safety pin to both ends of the elastic and start pulling it through the side tube you made earlier. Once you get it through (hooray!), sew down one end of the elastic to keep it in place. Repeat on the other side of the cover. Once both sides have the elastic in, fold the cover in half with right sides facing, and sew the edges together. Trim it down, the flip it over and sew down a zig-zag for some extra support. And that is it! Now all you have to do it pop that baby on your steering wheel and start looking cool! If it’s too baggy, just sew the ends together further down. If it’s too tight and doesn’t fit, run back to your sewing room to try again! I’m loving this new cover, it makes me smile every time I get in the car. Hope you it try it out! Thanks for reading!

Don't we all love the beautiful Vera Bradley prints? Sometimes the patterns are TOO busy to carry around as a purse but who can resist having that gorgeous fabric on your steering wheel? This will keep your steering wheel cooler to the touch in summer and warmer in winter. It's easy to put on and take off too. (My husband and 17 year old son refuse to drive with it on.) The Vera Bradley Napkins are 100% cotton, measure 20" x 20" and cost $6. (Less if you get them on sale, on eBay, or at an outlet.) Supplies: One Napkin or about 6" x 50" of cotton fabric 1/4" elastic x 60" Non slip grippy stuff (used as shelf liner? or drawer liner? or under rugs) 3" x 50" (bought by the yard at JoAnn's) Safety pins-one small and one large rotary cutter, ruler, mat tape measure sewing machine thread to match Cut a piece of fabric 6" wide x steering wheel circumference plus 3/4". Measure your steering wheel circumference with a tape measure or use a piece of string and then measure that. My wheel is 46". So I would need a piece of fabric 6" x 46 3/4". Trim off the binding on the napkin edge. Cut 6" x 20" twice. Then cut another piece 6" x 10". Once sewn together this length will need to be trimmed to your steering wheel measurement plus 3/4". And you will have some leftover for another project. Sew the pieces end to end with 1/4" seams and press them open. Measure 46 3/4" (OR what your wheel measures plus 3/4") and trim any excess off. Fold up 1/4" on each long side and iron. Fold that ironed fold up 1/2" and iron that too. Top stitch along the edge of the fold to create the casing for the elastic. You need TWO pieces of elastic each 30" long. I used 1/4" soft stretch elastic. Prepare the elastic to be threaded into the casing by putting a narrow safety pin on one end and a large pin as an anchor on the other. Set aside. Cut a piece of non slip grippy stuff (sold at JoAnn Fabrics by the yard) 3"wide x your wheel measurement. (3 x 46) Lay it on the wrong side of the fabric, about 3/8" or so from the end, and pin each side to hold it there. Flip it over carefully and sew down the center of the fabric to anchor the grip. I used my walking foot and a serpentine stitch. After the center is anchored, sew each side down, removing pins as you go. The stitching is not very visible on the pretty side so straight or wavy doesn't matter. Now thread the narrow safety pin into the casing and push it as far as you can by scrunching the fabric up. Then pull the end of the fabric down while holding the head of the pin. Continue pushing and pulling until you get to the other end. The large safety pin will act as an anchor so the far end of the elastic will stay at the other end and not travel up the casing too. Sew across the elastic and casing at each end before removing the pins. Once the elastic is securely sewn, remove the pins and repeat for the other side. Almost done! Pin the raw ends with right sides together and sew a 3/8" seam. Backstitch at each end. Push the seam to one side and sew it down. "Venetian Paisley" "Clementine" "Heather" These steering wheel covers are not stretchy. A 46" wheel cover will not fit a 47" wheel. The elastic just makes the cover curl in. Enjoy!

This is cute ... the pattern is made to be tight, so when you put it on it won't slip. However, I've heard that when you secure it, use a few dabs of hot glue to make sure. It's really important to make this cover is secure and does not slip! Get the free pattern
