I am making seat belt cozies for all of my work friends for xmas... would like to know if anyone knows where I can get 3/4 sew in velcro at a decent price?

It is so expensive at the fabric stores

www.sewtrue.com- they have a good variety of velcro-decent prices too-orders are filled fast too-I have done business with them for about 8yrs and never disappointed. Hope this helps. **linda**

I wait until I get a 40-50% off coupon at Joanns and than I buy the entire roll. I do the same for my elastics.

Jo Ann's sells their own brand of hook and loop tape at a decent price. It also comes in a variety of colors. The only difference is I think it is 5/8 in.

Would like to know what fabric you use for your seat belt cozies......I have a friend who uses headliner fabric for the inside and regular fashion fabric for the outside.....nice idea for a gift.

I have one I made for myself about 4 yrs ago-made it out of a remnant pc. of polar fleece-a pretty deep purple & lavender floral pretty-I love it-about time to make a new one tho. **linda**

I use polar fleece for the outer portion, and then use felt for the inner portion, sew them together so fleece does not stretch, and add velcro... I use 10 inches of velcro so they stay together really good. I also embroider with initials so they are really personal gifts

To save on the cost: our store sells each side of the tape separately, so I buy 1m of the soft side and Half a meter of the loop side.
Sew a small piece of the loop tape to one side, then sew a longer strip of the soft tape to your other side. This allows for adjusting the fit.
