adventure with a sowing machine

[strongy]

well ive been puting of geting my rear seats done for ages,due to the price.it was a pain not having them last time i went camping so i orderd some leatherete of ebay.it arived yesterday ,so i left work at 3,and headed over to my mums ,picked her sowing machine up and took it home.i set the little hot rod up in the garden,and began to thread it up(took about half an hour) :lol:,il just mention at this stage ive never used one before and dident have a clue)any how to cut a long boring story short 4 hours later the seats are done and im over the moon with the results,the chap i spoke to wanted £400 to do these,and it took me an idiot with no exsperence on a machine 4 hours,and £70 for the fabric.

any way hears a few pics,not that good as it was geting dark when i took em................
