Had a go at some upholstery work. Decided I need a lot more practice but I've enough material to cover 20 of these so I'll revisit over the winter.

There's a few sticky out bits (will sort them with a dab of glue to tidy it up) but the comfort under the elbow is so much better. 2mm foam covered with navy leatherette. Total material costs including adhesive was under $20. Colour match is really good, the flash on the phone messes it up

Lesson learned - get really sharp scissors and razor blades. Also need a better adhesive, one I used takes to long to stick and I think it will stay a little soft. Really need something that cures fast.

Anyway practice makes perfect!! Next time will be much improved. All in all with a fast curing glue each one would be about an hours work.
