Pascha Material in Stock

Well I searched for a PASCHA thread and this was the best choice to post a pic I found on 1 of my disc's (gives Robb some advertising). I took this pic about 6 years ago at a porsche dealer of a barn-find level dust covered 928 sitting in a corner.
It is the only Burgundy pascha I can remember seeing; (save pic as I recycle my upload space as needed)

I have a set of seats just like those burgundy ones for sale if anyone is interested. Used, from a euro with only 7K miles, excellent condition, no wear at all, both electric but no switches or motors. $1200

Top pic of seats below have recently been reupholstered by Rob Budd in black/tan w/black side bolsters. Bottom pic below have the side bolsters also in pasha. IMHO a full pascha interior as you say including headliner, dash, etc would be: T

Gotta say that the seats with the bolsters done in Pascha are too much for me.
I like how the pattern is angled on the bolsters, but even then it's just too busy. Having everything would be nightmarish.
As always, just my opinion. Others are certainly entitled to theirs.

More than several years ago, we had the opportunity to have a behind-the-scenes visit with the artist who did the tapestry panels used in the then-new Catholic cathedral in Los Angeles. There's a huge amount of design thought behind the look, including some subtle perspective features that you don't notice until they are mentioned and displayed. But what does that have to do with Pascha seat fabric?
The tapestry panels were "printed" in Belgium on what look like giant inkjet plotters. While it would have been a lot more interesting to have them hand-painted by L.A. native barrio graffiti artists, the scale and schedule made that a non-option.
There are companies that will print stuff like this, given a design standard that can be translated to something the printer can understand. The last time I did stuff like this, the printer needed a Gerber file. The software world has evolved massively since then probably to the point where almost any format can be translated to what the machine needs.
So a project like this starts out with good photo of a full section centered plus a little more than half a section in each direction around it to qualify the repeat. With some precise dimensions for the patterm in a few places to define the scale from the photo. From those we can generate a pattern file, and start shopping.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't that sort of printing process use a picture of the Pascha in any color combo for the pattern, then print it out in any other color combo that the customer wanted?

Yes. Base fabric color plus the ink colors are the variables once you have a pattern/print file you like.

First Crack...
So this is a 20x20 frame repeat (same as what's on Tony's hood cover), sizes are min 1/2" and a sine curve defining the dimensions. It's not exactly the same as what Tony shows, but...
This is an AutoCad rendering with the dimensions fed from Excel. With some better math skills I think I can generate a PDF or EPS file suitable for a test plot on paper.
