andrewsejlv Report post Posted May 25, 2017 Fantastic work! I dig the interior fabric as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
venator Report post Posted May 25, 2017 Thanks folks. I thought the interior fabric brought a nice look, I did have to iron a fusible interfacing to it to make it stiff enough to not just collapse but that was easy and I'm pleased with the results.

Had nevee thought about using a fusible interfacing going to have to file that away for future reference Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't really do patterns per se just work out dimensions etc. I just like this style so I thought I'd use it. moving forward I'll move to a 5 panel construction though for ease of sewing and optimal leather use. 17 hours ago, Basically Bob said: Wow!

Definitely something I"ll use more going forward. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
