A hand-made car seat cover matches the parameters of the chair, emphasizes the aesthetic appeal of the interior and performs a protective function. Let's take a look at the algorithm for making a seat cover.
The seat cover adorns the interior of the vehicle. This opinion was widespread several years ago.
As you know, demand creates supply. Today car showrooms offer a wide range of seat covers that differ in appearance, size, functionality, material and manufacturing method.
Seat covers are considered the most common among drivers. This model got its name due to the style similar to the undershirt.
The main advantages of a cover in the form of a T-shirt are called functionality, practicality, ease of use. You can sew a car cape T-shirt yourself.
Model covers are made to order in car ateliers and special salons. They exactly match the shape and size of the car seats. It will be very problematic to remove a model cover sewn from dense fabric or eco-leather.
Hand-made products are highly regarded by contemporaries. Knitted capes and headrests will make the car interior more comfortable and homely.
If you are proficient in crocheting or knitting, then you can easily cope with this task. The product must be durable, durable and functional. When choosing yarn for knitting, carefully study the quality characteristics of the threads. The finished product should keep its shape well, not stretch, cashless or float.
Some drivers spend a lot of time driving. Prolonged sitting position negatively affects human health.To reduce the load on the musculoskeletal system, it is necessary to install massager capes.
Massage covers are mechanical and electrical.
According to the employees of car dealerships, electric massagers, which are equipped with a special roller or vibration mechanism, have become in great demand. The electric cape massager not only protects the car interior from mechanical damage, but also helps to get rid of problems with the musculoskeletal system.
Often, premium and business class cars are equipped with heated seats. The heating can be turned on or off automatically or through the cigarette lighter. There are several heating modes.
Economy class vehicle owners can buy pre-made seat covers with a built-in heating function at automotive stores. The heated seat cover is especially useful in cold and damp weather.
Sewing a seat cover for a car does not take much time and does not require special skills. Consider the algorithm for making a do-it-yourself car cape:
The protective cover is used on a daily basis, so the fabric must be strong, practical, wear-resistant. Professional seamstresses recommend poly-cotton, velor, suede or neoprene, which is characterized by high fire resistance. Synthetic fabrics are easy to use, they get dirty less, and are easily cleaned of stains and traces of dirt.
Synthetics can be used in the autumn-winter period. Natural fabrics are suitable for the manufacture of summer car seat covers. Fabrics made from natural fibers are characterized by excellent air circulation and do not float.
In order for the cover to sit on the seat perfectly evenly and tightly, you need to make a pattern. The easiest way: take an old cape T-shirt, rip it apart at the seams, attach it to a piece of fabric and outline the contours.
Then take a measuring tape and take measurements from the driver's or passenger's seat. Measure the width, length and depth of the seat, backrest, headrest. Transfer the measurements recorded on paper to polyethylene.

The car seat cover is sewn on the basis of the pattern. After all the elements of the cape-shirt are drawn and cut out, you can start working with the fabric.
Transfer each individual element to the fabric. Remember to leave 1 to 2 cm of fabric for the joining seams. Using pins or needles with caps, connect all the elements into a single structure and process with a hand basting stitch.
Try on the seat cover. If the cape is the right size, machine the seams with a sewing machine. For a secure fixation of the car cover, it is recommended to sew on straps, elastic bands, hooks, Velcro.
In our age of high technologies, many people spend quite a lot of time sitting at the computer and from prolonged sitting they develop back and lower back pain, which in the future (unless, of course, change the lifestyle) can develop into chronic back diseases.
But regulars of the computer should not despair and doom themselves to eternal torment, because all they need is a good massage. Of course, not every person has the money and time to visit a professional massage therapist, but thanks to modern technology, such trips to the doctor may not be needed, because massage chair cover which will help you to relax without visiting expensive massage sessions.
Such massage chair cover is able to produce excellent quality massage of the back, lumbar and neck, and all this thanks to its special orthopedic structure and a special very convenient control system.The operation of this massage device is controlled by a special microprocessor system, which allows you to choose the time (usually 10, 20 and 30 minutes) and the most optimal massage option from those proposed by the developers: tapping, scratching, rolling, kneading, rotating. Also, as a rule, all such capes for ease of use are equipped with a small, ergonomic control panel, with which it is fashionable to set the massage areas, as well as set the speed mode.
As for the material from which the massage cape is made, then it is worth clarifying that this material is very resistant to wear and tear, and therefore such a cape can be used not only while working at a computer, but also while driving a car, or taken from himself to the dacha, where he will simply be a "savior" after a hard day's work.

The nozzle began to wobble and knock. Let's disassemble the massager and see the insides. Something must have broken.
Unscrew a bunch of small screws and remove the vibrating attachment.
It turns out that the rubber band on which the nozzle was attached was torn.
You need to do something like that. The rubber from the car camera will do.
Let's cut out a rectangle of the required size.
We will drill the mounting holes in the rubber and screw them into place, clamping them with metal plates, as it was originally.
Let's continue assembling the case.
Now the massager will perform its functions for a long time.
Share the article with your friends on social networks! I would be very grateful to you.
On the eve of winter, I decided to improve my winter driving conditions and purchased a Chinese-made ZL033 car seat cover for a heated car seat in one of the chain stores for less than ten dollars. I was planning to buy a more expensive one, but for that kind of money it was difficult to refuse to buy. The manufacturer honestly indicated in the technical specifications that the service life of this heated cape is one year. Indeed, until spring, the cape warmed the body perfectly, and when the frosts ended, it stopped warming.
Despite the low cost, the Chinese heating pad proved to be easy to use. The cape itself is made of polyester, the stitching is straight, there are elastic loops and elastic bands with hooks for attaching to the seat. The connection is made through the cigarette lighter socket, there is a switch for two heating and shutdown modes. The plug has a connection LED.
Only during operation did one drawback appear, it is not visible in what position the switch is located, and in the dark it had to be looked for by touch. I eliminated this drawback by installing two LEDs of different colors in the mode switch.
As a result, it turned out that the red LED, in addition to the planned function of indicating the activation of the heating mode, also performed an additional function - indicating the integrity of the winding of the heating element of the cape.
Before its breakdown, the red LED periodically began to appear when the cape was bent in the LO switch position, when only the green LED should have been lit. After analyzing the electrical circuit of the cloak, it became obvious that the lower winding of the heating element is on the verge of a break, which ultimately happened. When the nichrome wire broke in the lower winding, the voltage was applied to the red LED through the upper heating winding.
The heated cape is connected to the vehicle's on-board network using a plug that is inserted into the cigarette lighter socket.
The supply voltage from the negative terminal of the plug is supplied to terminal 2 of the operating mode switch. When the knob is in the middle OFF position, no voltage is applied to the heating threads and the cape does not heat up.
To turn on heating, you need to move the switch knob to one of the positions HI (maximum heating) or LO (minimum heating).When the switch is in the HI position, the current from the 2 contact of the switch will go to 1 and from it will flow through the upper terminal of the lower winding to the lower one, then through the tremofuse, a 10 A fuse installed in the plug and then through the central contact of the plug into the vehicle's on-board network.
The resistance of the lower winding is 3 Ohms, therefore, the heating power will be 48 watts. If the switch is set to LO, current will flow from the 3 pins to the top end of the upper winding. The total resistance of the heating windings connected in series will already be 4 Ohms and the heating power will decrease to 36 W.
The VD1 LED, connected in series with the R1 resistor, is an indicator of the presence of voltage in the cigarette lighter.
The blue section of the schematic is the result of a cape upgrade. VD2 shines red when the switch is HI, and VD3 when the switch is LO. Resistor R2 limits the current through the LEDs.
It is necessary to start disassembling the cape by removing the clamp of the current-carrying wire. In order to remove it, it is necessary to unscrew two self-tapping screws.
Removing the wire retainer did not open access to the connection of the wires with the heating elements and had to cut the fabric and foam rubber from the back of the cape for heating. The incision is good with scissors or a sharp knife. In this case, you need to be careful and careful so as not to damage the wires and the cut is smooth. Then, after repairing the cape, it will need to be sewn up with threads.
An autopsy showed that the heating winding is connected to the current supply wire by twisting, followed by soldering. To isolate the rations, insulating tubes are put on.
A thermal fuse is included in the break in the black wire and the lower end of the heating element for fire safety. This fact caused a pleasant surprise.
I removed the insulating tubes from the joints of the ends of the heating windings with the current supply wire and checked the reliability of the connections. Found no defects. The rations were brilliant and of high quality. Once again I rang the windings with a tester. The resistance of one of the heating windings, the lower one in the electrical diagram, instead of 3 ohms, was infinity. I had to start looking for the place of the cliff.
Previously, in order for the current lead wire not to interfere with the work and not to break off the ends of the heating windings with its weight, it was necessary to disconnect it from the windings, warming up the joints with a soldering iron. In order to get to the heating conductors, the car seat cover had to be literally turned inside out. The following picture opened before my eyes.
On a sheet of foam rubber with a thickness of about two millimeters, the wires of the heating rings in an insulating tube are neatly laid on the glue with a snake. From above, the conductors are covered with a translucent sheet of thin, not strong elastic material with a sticky layer. There was full access to the wires to find the place of the break. There is little left to do, to find this place.
To search for a wire break in the winding in a heated cape, you need any dial tester, multimeter or any electrical continuity dialer. If the multimeter has a sound dial mode, then it is better to use it. You do not have to be distracted to take readings of the device. If you are not familiar with how to ring electrical circuits, then you can read the article on the site "How to measure resistance, ring a circuit with an ohmmeter."
Since the winding conductor broke off from kinks as a result of mechanical action, then you should start looking for a break in the part of the cape that spreads over the seat. To search, it is necessary to connect one end of the probe of the device to the beginning of the winding laid on the seat, according to the diagram, this is the connection point of the two windings. In the photo above, this is the right side of the cape.
The heating wire has a diameter of 0.3 mm and is not covered with an insulating layer. Therefore, a breakage search method is available with a sewing needle.You need to take a sharp thin needle, attach the second end of the probe to it and pierce the insulation of the heating winding with the sharp end to find the breakage point.
For a faster search, you first need to divide the length of the heating winding wire into approximately two equal parts and make a puncture - a continuity in this place. If the circuit rings, divide the far part of the winding also conditionally into two equal parts, and make the next puncture at this point. Mark the puncture sites with a marker to make it easier to find. If the chain does not ring, then the break is between the last two punctures. Again, divide this section into two parts and make another puncture.
The method of calling halves allows you to find the breakage point, making the minimum possible number of punctures. I found a break through five insulation punctures with an accuracy of 3 cm. Insulation punctures in this case are harmless, since due to the elasticity of the plastic, the holes will be tightened and they will not be there.
After determining the location of the wire breakage of the heating element, you can start repairing it. To do this, carefully cut off a few centimeters of insulation along the wire to the level of the wire passage, pick up the exposed wiring with a needle and pull it out. Then cut the insulation to half the diameter further until the second end of the wire appears.
The test showed that the metal from which the coil of the heating element is made is well tinned with lead-tin solder with rosin flux. Tinned the ends of the wires, cut the insulation cut along the length and put an insulating tube on one end of the wire. I twisted the ends of the wire together and soldered the twisting place with solder. If you have no experience with a soldering iron, you can familiarize yourself with the soldering technology on the website page "How to solder with a soldering iron".
Next, you need to connect the ends of the probe to the ends of the repaired winding and additionally check if there are still breaks, slightly bending the seat cover. If the resistance is stable, then the repair can be considered complete.
It remains to slide the insulating tube onto the joint and glue it and the winding that was torn off from the foam rubber during the repair process with Moment glue or any other heat-resistant one.
The cape is turned back to the correct side, the lead wires are soldered, and the cable is secured with a latch. I sealed the foam cut with tape in order to make it easier to sew up the fabric.
It remains to sew up the incision with threads. There is no need for greater strength and the step of the rhyme can be done more than one centimeter. It is advisable to take the thread thicker so that it does not cut the fabric of the cape.
The heated car seat cover is repaired and ready for further use. Running tests confirmed that the cape began to warm the seat as well as before the repair.
As you can see, repairing a heated cape is not at all difficult and, if desired, this work, following the described method, can be performed by almost any person.
To indicate the supply of voltage to the heated cape in the plug, which, when connected to the vehicle's on-board network, is inserted into the cigarette lighter, there was a red LED. And to indicate the heating power mode or to turn it off in the dark, it was necessary to look for a switch in the dark by touch, since such an indication was not provided.
Therefore, immediately after buying the cape, I installed two LEDs of different colors, red and green, in the switch for indication. On the electrical diagram of the cape, the added elements are shown in blue. Any two LEDs, a 1.8 kOhm resistor and a small piece of wire, these are all the necessary details for making additional indication.
To disassemble the switch, you must unscrew two self-tapping screws and remove one of the covers. Further, in the cap with the inscriptions, it is necessary to illuminate two holes with a diameter equal to the diameter of the optical part of the LEDs. The installation is hinged. One terminal of each of the LEDs is connected by soldering to each other and a resistor is soldered to them.A piece of wire is soldered to the second end of the resistor, the other end of which is connected to the black (brown) wire of the cable. One wiring is soldered to the remaining free ends of the LEDs, the ends of which are soldered to the extreme terminals of the switch.
For reliable fixing of LEDs, the place of their installation and assembly is filled with silicone. As I already reported above, when the lower winding is broken, both LEDs are illuminated in the LO switch position. In this way, you can find out the reason for the inoperability of the seat cover.
The photo shows how the indication occurs in the OFF switch positions - the LEDs do not light, LO (minimum heating, 34 W) - the green LED is on and HI (maximum heating, 44 W) - the red LED is on.
The reliability and quality of the ZL033 heated cape matches the price. The cape served one season without fail, warmed up quickly and warmed up well, even in severe frosts. It is not necessary to expect a long service life from it by paying $ 10. If you wish, you can extend the service life of the cape for a couple of seasons by repairing it. So my review is positive.
But still, I decided not to tempt fate and bought a new, more expensive and reliable one, choosing a heated cape with a heating element made of carbon fiber.
Your back hurts, but a large massage chair will not fit into every home or office. A small neck massager will not massage the entire back of a person who is tired of long work. Shiatsu massage chair cover is an intermediate option between a full-fledged massage chair and a compact neck massager. The cover for the chair is suitable for an office and car seat: it massages the entire back area at once, and most models also add vibration massage of the buttocks to this.
If you are a driver, then definitely take a vibration massager (but be careful, watch, do not doze off, because vibration massage is relaxing). But Shiatsu the balls on the driver's seat are uncomfortable. Imagine that they will constantly rest on your lower back, and if you are going on a long trip, you will get tired of it more than enjoy it. But at home or at work, you can sit back, completely relax and enjoy a deep back massage.
You get a massage with rollers with the full feeling that hard, ruthless (yes, yes, ruthless, as many people bought say that such a massage is too strong) fingers of the masseur are passing down your back and, of course, a calming heat is applied to the massage for tense muscles. It will not be possible to rest on such a cape: all shitsu massagers work only when the rollers are not pressed by the weight of your body (therefore, you cannot sleep on massage pillows or stand during a massage in a foot massager). But on the other hand, in the recommended sitting position, you will receive the maximum therapeutic effect.
There are 4 main techniques in classic massage: stroking, rubbing, kneading and relaxing vibrations. If vibrations help relieve tension of spasmodic muscles, then kneading allows you to deeply work out the muscles and increase blood circulation. But we want to immediately warn you about a different pain threshold, everything is too individual, for someone the movements of the shiatsu balls may seem too rough.
We divided the review into 2 parts: we chose three vibrating and three shiatsu massager capes. The price difference is huge and sometimes reaches 6 times. What is the difference?
The cheapest massager in our review is a warm and light vibration relaxing back massage. The key word here is easy. It is the weakness of the vibrations that many buyers are unhappy with. But in the most expensive massager there are already eight shiatsu balls for a deep and intense massage of the back and neck. The balls are in both the headrest and the back. So choose what you like best?
Bestseller New Five Star FS8812 10-Motor Vibration Massage Seat Cushion with Heat - Neck - Shoulder - Back & Thigh Massager with Heat
The leader has 10 sources of pleasant vibration that cover the neck, shoulders, back and hips. Two heating elements are installed in the lower back area, providing warmth throughout the massage area. There are no rollers here, this cape is designed to relax, relax and soothe tired back muscles. Its purpose is to relax the muscles of the driver on a long or tiring trip. With the remote control, you can select 4 automatic massage programs, three speeds, and turn the heat on or off. Are you sure you will have to sit at your workplace for many hours? Or are you on a long trip? Then this massage cape will help you. However, judging by the reviews, many buyers would prefer to see built-in shiatsu rollers complete with vibrating elements. But the engineering decision is dictated by common sense: prolonged exposure to non-working rollers on the back muscles will create discomfort. This massage cape is suitable for those who have a high pain threshold and experience pain or discomfort from shiatsu ball massage.
There are only five motors providing vibration, a rather simple, albeit ergonomic pillow, a heating element and regulation right in the back of the massage cape itself. This is the simplest and most unpretentious set that can only be - you can buy several such capes, at home, in the office and in the car. Despite its simplicity, Dr Scholl's has three levels of massage intensity and may well claim to be a “relaxing procedure”. The cape is very compact and can be easily carried in a bag. There are complaints about the bumpiness of the seat and the high level of noise during operation, but this can be forgiven for the most budgetary massager.
Maximum therapeutic: 16 modes of your choice Gideon ™ Seat Cushion Vibrating Massager for Back, Shoulder and Thighs with Heat Therapy
Like all Gideon ™ products, this massage chair cover features an abundance of massage combinations. If you are determined to get rid of aching muscle pain in the most radical way, your choice is high intensity. If you just want to get rid of annoying cramps in the area of the shoulder blades, without being distracted from work - the relaxation mode with a complex with pleasant warmth and vibration will help you with this. Gideon ™ is not a Shiatsu massager, but it is hardly inferior in efficiency: one of the modes, for those who need a serious shake and tone increase, is the penetrating vibration mode. The vibration zones are positioned to massage the hips, shoulders, back and shoulder blades, which is useful for workers in all sedentary professions. At the same time, the massager can be installed on the chair, and not even removed: in the off state, it resembles a rubberized comfortable lining. The heat is distributed not only to the back, but also to the hips: a definite plus for those who work in a cool office.
Shiatsu ball massage rollers are available with or without headrests. The main complaint of buyers about massagers without a headrest is that the balls do not reach the shoulders and neck for shiatsu. Therefore, if your problem is in the upper back, then you most likely want the most expensive model with balls in the headrest.
The largest number of massage programs - Gideon ™ Luxury Six-Program Customizable Massaging Cushion with Heat / Shiatsu Deep Kneading, Rolling and Vibrating
Six massage programs, shiatsu knots set at the desired height, 8 floating up and down shiatsu rollers imitating the movements of the masseur's hands, setting the speed - slow or fast, adjusting the intensity of the massage, three massage styles: for deep muscle work, for gentle relaxation and creating a feeling comfort make this massage chair cover practically the leader among all the models we have reviewed.
There is no vibration massage in this version, but if you have a need to diversify your massage experiences, for example, today - gentle stroking movements, and tomorrow - a hard sports massage, then the HoMedics MCS-750H is just right for this.Here comes the “shock” massage for quick and energetic kneading of “stagnant” muscles or for those who have just finished a tiring workout. The rollers turn clockwise and counterclockwise, move up and down the axis, working out the whole back.
The most expensive with rollers in the headrest and adjustable massage height for the neck - Naipo Shiatsu Neck and Full Back Massager Massage Seat Cushion with Heat Function for Home Office and Car
Suitable for people of different heights - from 150 to 185 cm: the two upper Shiatsu massage knots built into the headrest will provide you with the desired massage quality if you adjust the cape to your size. It is especially recommended for people with a height of 165 cm and below who usually find it difficult to choose a back massager so that the balls of the headrest hit the neck muscles. There are two vibration sources built into the seat with three levels of intensity, and in the lower back, four shiatsu knots move along a complex trajectory, each of which has two balls, which gives the effect of a deep 3D massage.
Now let's see if you always need an expensive massage cape or can you get by with a compact and cheap neck massager?
If your lower and middle back hurts, you definitely need a massage cape. Vibration or roller - you choose, it all depends on how powerful massage you want and on your pain threshold.
But if the problem is concentrated in the upper part (neck and shoulders), then there are several options. The main complaint of buyers to massagers without a headrest is that the balls do not reach the neck and shoulders of the shiatsu. And then you most likely want the most expensive model with separate balls in the headrest. If it's too expensive, try a cheap neck massager.

It is impossible to sit even in the softest and most comfortable chair for a long time, the back begins to feel numb, the spine aches, this is an eternal problem of drivers who are helped out only by massage cape for car .
Today, technological progress has affected not only the essentials, but also those that provide comfort. For example, massage chairs have long been invented that are capable of flexing your muscles and joints every second. But it is appropriate in the office, at home or in the office, but installing a massage leather seat in a car is an expensive pleasure. The best option is a massage cape, it can be attached to a seat in any vehicle, as well as to an ordinary chair in the office.

Capes can be divided into passive and active. ... The first includes any that have solid elements of a spherical or cylindrical shape, massage is carried out due to the natural movements of the body while driving. A massage cover for a car seat of the second type, as a rule, is equipped with movable elements controlled by electronics and needs an electric power supply. It is divided into two separate types: roller and vibrating.
Even ordinary chairs today are equipped with backs that follow the shape of a person's back, which allows you to take the most comfortable and relaxed position. As a result, you get less tired, the load on the spine is almost completely relieved. But the orthopedic massage seat cover is much more effective. Small air chambers and associated vibrating micromotors provide vibration to the muscles that can be changed to pulsating.
Roller capes are arranged according to a different principle, in which, instead of air cushions, there are movable rollers, also combined with mechanisms and electronics. The impact is significantly different from vibration, since the movements are only linear, wavy and point, there is also an option when the rollers move and diverge, squeezing the muscles and stretching them. All this in a complex is rarely performed by the cape, only the most expensive models have such full functionality, for the most part 1-2 options of actions are included in the program.
It is much more convenient to use the vibration type in the car, since the roller is more massive and is suitable only for spacious interiors.

In summer and winter, the driver is in his car in the same position. It is logical that he tries to provide himself with maximum comfort, for example, in the cold season, regardless of what the seat is upholstered with, he is often covered with warm fur. In the warm season, passive wooden massager capes for a car are more convenient, especially since they are just summer ones, since at sub-zero temperatures it will only get colder with them. All elements of passive capes are connected with strong threads or sewn onto the fabric, they form a kind of cells .

The main condition for the type of wood used for such massage devices is the absence of resin in the structure, which, under the influence of heat, can begin to be released from the fibers. Of course, all the details of the cape are lacquered, but over time, the coating is damaged. The most used wood is beech, which is dense, strong, does not crack and does not absorb moisture well. An alternative that perfectly replaces wooden massage capes is only bone.
