Waiting on some things to get across the map. In the meantime i am sure i can think of some things that won't cost money to do if i could just find some free time  but for now, she sits in the toybox

Project: Make my own dayum Neck Pads! 


After searching relentlessly for Beige neck pads and not much luck. I didnt want one with a VIP or Junction Produce or anything stitched on it. Just wanted it to match my seats. Even found a set on eBay for over $100!! pssh screw that. I had left over material from my shift boots so i gave it a wack. 


Just know, sometimes when you take on these little DIY's they may or may not work out or look good. I don't think they came out quite right so i may just get rid of them, but here's how it went down. Took about 2.5 hours total.


Measured out how i wanted the template to be from just eyeballing pics on the web and measuring my seat etc..




Steeyatch!




My Donor Pillow for Stuffing 




Stuffed and sealed with a hand stitch because the sewing machine couldnt squeeze a stuffed pillow in its channel




Attached




Done




Thoughts? Trash it or Rock it?

hmm, maybe too bulky. Color a little off. Something seems a lil wierd?
