Oldie but goldie: Shift boot cover
I don’t have time to craft today because I have class ALL day.. so I thought I’d share another old craft. My friend had asked me to make a new shift boot for his car, and when he found the fabric he wanted, he handed me the fabric, which happened to be a bandanna, and the old shift boot, and I got to crafting.
They’re super simple to make.. it’s basically just two triangles sewed together. I can’t give a very specific tutorial unfortunately because not all shift boots are the same.
Here it is:
I hope to be able to make myself one for my new car… if I can get it! If I do, expect another shift boot post!

Thanks! It’s often overlooked.. people don’t really realize you can customize shift boots, but really it’s pretty easy!
I’m glad that I’m not the only one who’s made these before!

Did you use elastic on the bottom or just tuck it in? I like this but unsure exactly how to measure and make for mine. Thanks.

It just tucks in.. I think you actually have to pop out the center first, then put the cover on, then put the center plastic back on, so it sandwiches the bottom of the cover in.. securing it.
