Thread: Upholstery

Does anyone have a paper pattern for Defender front seats?

I've just found a pile of bright orange leather and thought it might look fine.

Cheers

Yeah, no strangers to making up patterns, but the Defender is our only vehicle at the moment, and if I don't get the job done in one fell swoop it'll take months. Somehow I think the wife won't be keen on bare seats for the months that it will probably take me to get the job finished.

I've got all the rest, along with the empty space where the 24 PCs were is half a dozen industrial machines, including a walking foot machine and a machine with an upholstery wheel.
