Default Gregs DIY seat refurb

So the missus decided she wanted to get involved while I did my intake refresh. So on the cheap with vinyl and a fake alcantara style of material she stitched up some new covers.
I do want to go back original leather one day but have better things to spend money on. Just have the drivers seat to fit up. All up cost about $200.

Holy smokes, that's one of the better at home recovering jobs I've seen on here, and I don't recall ever seeing anyone other than the pros attempting to actually make the covers. Great job!

For someone doing their first pair of 928 seats those look amazing!

Hats off to your missus skills.

Cat's hobby is quilting, and she probably has $10k worth of equipment in her room. I think I have a project for her!

Looks outside! I’m ready for a tan set as we speak. When does she start taking orders?
