Introduction: The HeatSeat Jacket

A heated seat jacket for your car thats slips on and off. Fits on any car seat and will keep you warm on those cold days! This is a fairly simple project and can be done in about a day or two!

Step 1: Measure

First you need to go out to your car and measure the dimensions of your seat that you would like to use. Make sure you include the head rest.

Step 2: Gather Materials

Now you will need to go to your local fabric store. You will need one sheet of fleece fabric, and it can be any kind just make sure you go big rather then small. This because in case you mess up cutting there's still hope. Also you will need to get a base layer fabric for your seat cover this will take some looking around, but make sure you just ask a work there and they will point you in the right direction if you tell them what you're making.

Step 3: Cut and Create

Alright now that you have your materials your going to need a sewing machine. Look at your dimensions for your car seat that you just took the measurements of and as about 10 inches on each side. This is so you can wrap the base layer fabric around the seat. No for the fleece material make sure you cut it with about a height of 3-4 feet and a width of 5-6. This all depends the size of your car seat so keep that in mind when sewing.
