then redid my kids seats to be sure I liked it finished. the new one is on the left



picked the style of seats.



and started the process.



front lower covers all sewn up!

headliner hatch trim, the first official piece of the black headliner swap is in!







rear seat



yes 3 rear heaters in the rear seat







and just started on the headliner yesterday.

YW or any other cloth for that matter. He owns a company that does a lot of printing on boat covers. It molecular bonds with the materials and will last. I have done a pattern similar to yours but using the BMW motorsport colors and using a 415 topstich center thread.

[Euro 323i]

I hear you never have enough time to work on your own projects. I managed to do my cabrio in 2.5days before a show about 4 years ago. That was my last interior I did for myself. I have 4 other cars I want to do interiors, along with my wifes 2010 EOS

What seats are those in the First post??????

You can find them in a 2002 GTI or Wolfsburg Jetta with the high (square) bolsters. I have seen them in cloth and leather from oem.

I am not totally sure on the years they were available. Anyone who knows for sure can chime in.

[5i1verbu11et]

just picked up a small .:R part for the interior project

I don't mean to thread-jack, but it seems like you guys will know the answers for my questions.

I'm seriously considering fabricating my own shift knob, and wrapping it with leather or suede, but I have no previous knowledge of how to work with interior wrapping, so I need to figure out the details of the wrapping process and materials.

What do I need to look for in terms of thread for it to be strong enough, and not fade? Are there any other things I need to keep in mind for thread?

In order to stretch the leather or suede over the shape of the shifter, do I wet it, stitch it, then let it dry? What is the proper process?

I looked at the 'in process' shot of wrapping the steering wheel, and don't really understand how the join was made smooth. I assumed you would fold the edges over, and then sew them together, but the pictures show it with a fair amount of excess still, despite the stitching beginning. So how exactly do you get a smooth joint?
