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

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??
