Sew a Quilted Steering Wheel Cover
When I first got my driver’s license at age 17, I remember the little joys of picking out car accessories. A steering wheel cover, fuzzy dice, air fresheners… it was all so new and fun and fabulous. Over the years—and perhaps now that driving is more about being a chauffeur for my son to and from school and activities—having a car has become less “fun” but it is still necessary.
I thought it was time to resurrect the car decorating habit with a new, fancy steering wheel cover! As a bonus, this quilted cover will keep my hands warm in the winter and cool in the summer. You don’t need to be an expert sewist to make this project. In fact, if you can sew a straight line, you can make this project!
I’ve added a non-slip shelf liner to the inside of this steering wheel, which is my number one tip for sewing this project! It doesn’t take much effort to add that extra layer, and you can pick up shelf liner at most dollar stores. I found this fun fabric print from the Spread the Word collection by Kathryn Kramer Waters for The Blank Quilting Corp. I just love it!

Once again, my Baby Lock came through like a dream! I used my Baby Lock Ballad to sew to sew the fabric cover and quilt through all the layers, which was oh-so satisfying. If you’re in the market for a new sewing machine, I can’t recommend Baby Lock highly enough. They even have affordable beginner models that make it easy to fall in love with sewing!
