Waiting on some things to get across the map. In the meantime i am sure i can think of some things that won't cost money to do if i could just find some free time but for now, she sits in the toybox

Project: Make my own dayum Neck Pads!

After searching relentlessly for Beige neck pads and not much luck. I didnt want one with a VIP or Junction Produce or anything stitched on it. Just wanted it to match my seats. Even found a set on eBay for over $100!! pssh screw that. I had left over material from my shift boots so i gave it a wack.

Just know, sometimes when you take on these little DIY's they may or may not work out or look good. I don't think they came out quite right so i may just get rid of them, but here's how it went down. Took about 2.5 hours total.

Measured out how i wanted the template to be from just eyeballing pics on the web and measuring my seat etc..



Steeyatch!



My Donor Pillow for Stuffing



Stuffed and sealed with a hand stitch because the sewing machine couldnt squeeze a stuffed pillow in its channel



Attached



Done



Thoughts? Trash it or Rock it?
hmm, maybe too bulky. Color a little off. Something seems a lil wierd?

Not too bad, maybe re due the stitching to give it a cleaner/tighter look. Maybe double stitch.
