Nice work, just in time for winter.

Is there anything that one should before attemptin what looks to be a skilled and difficult job!

Well done btw, looks great (thats why i'm asking the questions!!)

Thanks! lots of fidly cuts and cursing

materials all sourced from http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/
leather cloth cat no. 24-blk 4 metres
black fasteners "dot" cat no. 15c
studs cat no. 16
thread cat no. 39c-blk
zip cat no. 148-blk
punch and bed cat no. 238
some contact adhesive

total for materials £100

the main thing before you start is to make sure your sewing machine is up to the job at times i was sewing through several layers, i started by fitting the studs to the body then worked the material from the middle on one side. The width of a meter rule is about twice the width i needed for seem joins but that was just right for the edges. The most difficult bit was joining the pockets for the seats to the rest. I may fit a grp rod on the passenger side to act as a rib, still got the cut outs and slots for the belts to do. the drivers side is a little loose so we are going to sow another seem to tighten the top i.e you can tighten a seem but but making it looser will be more diifcult... hope this of help

Very tidy

Looks great, just like the one my mum made for me, alltho i havent used push on fitting and opted for under slung elastic straps to hold it down.

PS, anyone know where i can get some flat black elastic straps from??
