Hi, just finished the two front Austin Ruby seats. Had a few setbacks along the way; the leather covers which the previous owner had made a start on ended up being too small after I’d sewn on the backing and stuffed with upholstery felt. So I started from scratch with vinyl and foam. I’d sent off for piping feet for my old industrial sewing machine but they did not match so all sewn on a domestic sewing machine. The front piping on the seat backs sits a bit high (I hadn’t taken into account the extra foam when I’d made a fabric trial). Apart from that I’m pleased with them but going to leave doing the back seat for a while! Thanks again for all your advice, it made the job possible. Tony
