Car Seat Cover
 

I just got a new to me 2014 Honda Civic. I currently have towels on the seats (the section where your butt goes) and would like to protect that area with something that stayed in place a bit better and looked a little classier . Any suggestions on how to make seat covers for just the front seat bottoms? I don't need anything for the seat backs.

This is a tutorial for a little seat pad that might help you.

You can take a piece of muslin, cut out a square several inches larger than the seat. Take a crayon or a piece of colored chalk, trace around the edge of the seat.

Then measure at the corners down to bottom of the seat. This will be the "side or boxing as we call it in the Upholstery business). Sew the "boxing" onto the seat. Make an elastic casing for the bottom edge (add an extra inch for the casing) and make ties with velcro in the back to wrap around the back (like apron straps).
This is so the cover can come off for cleaning if necessary.

It's basically a slip cover for the seat. It shouldn't bunch up under you or the passenger with the sides added.


Make a prototype cover first so you can make any adjustments.

You could adapt this to fit your seat.

I made full seat covers for my VW Beetle for years. Elastic was my best friend.
