It's no 5-point harness, but it helps secure them in the chair.

Gather materials: Quilted fabric* for outer, cotton broadcloth or similar for lining, Velcro. *Batting combined with broadcloth can also be used


For this one, I used a thrifted bedspread and bedsheet

Step 1 -
Make pattern pieces

All measurements include 3/8" seam allowance

Step 2 - Add markings 2 1/4" apart at center of each piece as shown in picture.

These markings will help you place the connector piece.

Curve the corners of velcro pieces so there are no sharp points

or use 1/8" top stitch to secure lip.



Step 12 - Sew Velcro onto ends of waist strap, centering on strap & placing it 1 1/4" away from short edge.
