I found a fantastic tutorial online and got started!
I love this fabric. Our friend in Kodiak, Shelley, made the boys travel pillows for our trip to Ohio last year. She sent me the extra fabric. There was enough to make each of the boys a seat organizer. I added a layer of orange fabric that I had to make them a little more sturdy. They are going to be holding a lot of toys!
I sewed on the pockets, and divided them accordingly. I followed the exact measurements for the one in the tutorial, but you can make as many pockets as you need.
The finished product! I hope the kids like them!
There is a band of elastic that goes around the seat bottom so that they are kept away from dangling by the kid’s feet and I made button holes so that they attach under the headrest. Taking those headrests off was a two person project. Why didn’t they make the release buttons on those ones? Yikes!

June 9, 2010 at 5:42 pmI really need to learn how to sew…this is perfect! I’ve bought some at the store a few years ago and they just never seem to have enough room for everything!
I’m stopping by from Sew Much Ado. Have a great week!
