Happy Saturday going out to everyone out there.
On this project, which is a 1979 Mooney Airplane, my customer said he wanted to update the interior with something that would really pop.
After a few discussions I ordered in some Dark Brown and Espresso leather hides and I got to work on creating something I am now really proud of.
* All seat bottom and seat back foam is new and all shaped from scratch with bolsters.
* The original backing panels for the side pieces were also made new and covered with a 1/2 inch foam and top stitched with a 3/4 inch border.
* Top stitch and French seams are all laid out in a Tan Hi grade thread.
I really pushed myself on this project. As you can see by all my other posts, it’s the first in this style for me, but definitely not the last. I actually used this project as practice because I have another project that is going to incorporate this exact set up and design.
Keep your eyes open for that one as I’m already looking to do more of this “made from scratch” type work.
