Well, it took me a hot minute, but I finally got my first full interior finished. This is my 1967 VW Beetle, Lily.
Thanks for your awesome courses! They've been invaluable in assisting me in learning how to wrangle fabric in whole new ways. :pray:

You very welcome! No reason to ever be nervous on this forum. You have a great future in upholstery ahead of you if that is your first interior.
We would love to share your project. Kacie will be reaching out to you to get a few more details on the project, if that ok.

Oh, hell yes!

I can see that with a nasty 2180 kit in it and doing wheelies.

Nice work!

Me being nervous is basic SOP, this is undoubtedly the friendliest and most supportive upholstery forum I’ve encountered. Hands down.

Insanely excited to have picked up third place in the Full Custom (all years) category at Florida Bug Jam. There was a huge field and some really impressive cars, so it was unexpected.
Thanks again for all the support and the awesome course. Image
