Hello everyone, Hope everyone is well and good.

Just thought I'd add my latest project to the forum. It's been a while since I last posted.

So this project was an Uberkaro (check) pattern which the customer provided.

Anyways let me know your thoughts.

Looks a tidy job indeed, did you use vinyl or leather for the bolsters? I'm seeing quite a lot of good quality vinyl about now difficult to tell the difference.

I think I'd have gone with something a bit darker myself to go with the Uberkaro but that is the benefit of a custom retrim you can get exactly what you want. :thumb:

Thank you,

So this is leatherette bolsters, I mean leatherette has came along way in the last 20 years. I work as a leather specialist and really at times i struggle to tell whats what.

Uberkaro is great to work with, but is tricky when matching patterns and making sure everything is correctly lined up. A good challenge I guess.
