What's New?

I did a little bit of stitching recently. Here is the before,
and here is the after. It really isn't very hard to recover a seat. The most tedious part is perhaps the ripping (or un-sewing) of the thread that holds the original cover together. Then you just lay the pieces out on new vinyl, trace it, and sew it together. I borrowed Mrs. Rocketman's sewing machine and did the deed in less than 3 hours all together. It isn't perfect, but looks 3.5x better.

Shoot, I would wager it looks even 7 times better. Well done Dr. Phil. Can't wait to see those AD's side by side in Atwater.
