Claim:
A method for making a child car seat cover comprising: acquiring an absorbent fabric, a soaker fabric and waterproof fabric; cutting a large piece of said absorbent fabric to form an outer layer; cutting said soaker fabric in roughly the same size as said outer layer to form a soaker layer; cutting said waterproof fabric in roughly the same size as said outer layer and said soaker layer to form a waterproof backer; joining said soaker layer and said waterproof backer to said outer layer by sewing; cutting slits in an appropriate length and position for child car seat straps; sewing in industrial strength hook-and-loop pieces to said slits and middle section in order to enable the closing of the gap around the straps; cutting two additional side pieces of said absorbent material used for said outer fabric; attaching one piece per side to enable the cover to wrap around the car seat; sewing an elastic around the perimeter of the cover with double reinforced seams; cutting a first hole in appropriate position to allow for the buckle strap; sewing approximately a ¼″ elastic around the hole to allow it to conform around a buckle strap; cutting a second hole below said first hole in the appropriate position to allow for a tightening strap to pull through; sewing a ¼″ elastic around said second hole to allow said second hold to conform around said tightening strap; cutting two pieces of said outer layer fabric, said soaker layer and said waterproof backer, dimensioned to roughly 5″×16″; sewing all of the fabrics together, with edges trim and neat; and sewing industrial strength hook-and-loop pieces along the outer inside edge to secure the edges when folded over.
