My seat belt chokes me. I have been using a clothes pin up at the top. Does anyone have any ideas what I can make that will help keep it from rubbing on my neck? I sometimes lose my clothes pin :(
Will a seat belt cover keep it off my neck?
Thanks.

Dawn, does it adjust at the top by the door frame?, if so just slide the clip down. If not you can purchase a clip that holds the chest strap down to the lap portion. However, this is not recommended. I would suggest a lambswool or other soft fabric to sew around the strap where it rubs. (I have the same problem. :)

My DH has this problem and he is 5'11". It is something about where on your neck that seatbelt hits. He tried all the adjustments possible, even the sheep wooly thing, now he drives with his left hand hold out the belt a little ways from his lap which pulls it out from his neck. I'm 5'8" and it hits my neck in a bad spot toowhen I drive, but not so much when I ride on the other side.

I've made these for family and friends and they all love them. I adjusted the size to fit each person ranging from 4' 11" to 6'.
The changes I made from this pattern were:
1. All my front pieces were single piece fabrics in the person's favorite item, ie: animal, flower, etc.
2. Used 1/4" foam instead of batting/wadding.
3. Made the length (long edge) 11" to start with. The width according to person size but most started as 9".
What everyone likes best is the extra "flap" where the velcro comes together because they can either leave it resting against shoulder/arm or flip it under for extra lift.
Hope this is helpful :D
