Apologies - Yet More Bad Photos…
As soon as I started to pin the pieces together I realised I had made yet another schoolboy error.
As I forgot to take into account the effect of sewing around the corners which puts folds in the leather.
By the time I had sewn together a section of the bottom edge it was clear the edge piece was
slightly too long.
So I had to sew the pieces together from number of different starting points until I was left with just this corner to do.
Impossible to see from the photo, but the holes for the stitches on the face are further apart than those on the edge.
So for the same number of stitches, I was joining the longer edge piece to the shorter face piece.
This resulted in the collection of 'extra' folds in the bottom left hand corner when looking at the inside.
I then pulled it all inside out and put the foam back in.
Which left the front of the headrest looking like this.
Thankfully I gave up any noble quests for perfection in my build many years ago, so this is certainly good enough for me.
Next steps are to sort out the final plywood shapes and test/drill holes for the fixing 'Fir Trees'.
So until then, take care, Paul.
