Making rear seat upholstery.
I bought some new buckets.
Unfortunately they don't sell a rear cover to match. If they even sold it 300 do a seat cover is ridiculous for 50 bucks worth of vynil. So I decided to make my own. I carefully took apart the old covers and laid them out for a pattern on vynil from hobby lobby. 10yds (more than what I needed) for 43 bucks including the red heavy duty thread. He is one of my iggys helping me trace and cut.
The piping was the hardest thing. The factory has a small plastic tube. I couldn't find it at any craft store, but 16g speaker wire was perfect! He is the finished project. I just have a little more stretching to do and a few more hog rings, but it looks store bought and
that was my goal. Not bad for my first time.
