    Cool - I have a heavy duty machine, no walking foot though...
     
  4. finished the second door panel. Measured, cut and drew out the pleats on the vinyl and started sewing.
    I lightly glued the vinyl to 1/2" scrim foam. This helps to hold the vinyl to the foam while sewing. I used a silver sharpie marker to draw the lines.

  12. The back seat backrest is done. The insert for the bottom is done just need to template the bolsters (sides of seat). The back will be done tomorrow and maybe the package tray will get done.
