Supplies
Tools
  • Scissors
  • Wax paper
  • Marker
  • Sewing machine
  • Thread
  • Safety pin
Materials
  • Shoe lace/elastic (will be used as a draw string)
  • Fabric (stretchy polyester will fit well and be water resistant)
Directions
  • Trace the outline of the bike seat on a piece of wax paper while holding the paper on the seat.
  • Draw an outline with an inch all around to allow for the seams
  • Cut along the larger outline
  • Pin the pattern to the fabric
  • Cut slits along concave curves so the edge will fold more easily
  • Pin a 3/4 inch fold around the perimeter of the fabric

!: More pins will make the cover fit smoother of the seat

  • Allow a gap for the drawstring when sewing the seam
  • Use a shoelace or elastic as the draw string and thread through with a safety pin
  • Fit cover onto seat.
