Re: New Stitches!
Very nice! I think it might be to nice not to have door and quarter panels... I imagine shaun could come up with something just as sweet with a little more of that insert material and leather!

Re: New Stitches!
Very tastefully done. You put a lot of thought into your choices and took your time finding just the right material and it paid off.

Re: New Stitches!
the seat looked and felt like an old Sunday coat
My sister wore a coat every winter Sunday just like that in the 50s. I'm sure you are glad that you didn't settle for something OK but held out for that perfect match. It makes the results sweeter.

Re: New Stitches!
Beautiful work - a bit more formal than I expected.
I'm looking at the car shots and now with that seat I keep thinking "Top Hat". In a good way. The car now reminds me of fine old Top Hat.
