I wanted everyone to see the tan leather cover with the stitching laced to match the steering wheel cover. I stitched it underneath then back over, which is the way my leather steering wheel cover is.

The tan one that I received had the top part rolled over but not the bottom. I actually like it fine this way so I am just going to leave it. The color and texture of the leather match my interior perfectly!

Please keep this thread on topic.





Here is a close-up of the stitching. You gotta love the Nikon D50!

 

i want it? haha

how much? 50 bucks???

was it just a simple stich up and done?

 

Looks great! I think that's how the Mark LT shifter is stitched as well.

Looks good,

Looks good, mine still hasn't got here.

 

Nice jod I like the way you stiched yours. How hard was it to keep it tight doing it like that?

 

It was easy to stitch it that way once the top was tight. I struggled a little to keep the top tight but once the top and the next row was tight they held and I just used the needle to grad the next row, pull out the slack and then tightened. I repeated that process the entire way.

When I got to the bottom I ran it down into the last hole on each side and then went over and down into the opposite hole. I then tied a triple knot from underneath and cut off the excess.

I guess those sewing lessons my mom gave me paid off. She used to be a sewing instructor.

 

Looks good!

 

Thanks! And thank you for arranging the group buy!!

 

In my opinion, I think it looks better without the cover.

 

I stitched mine that way the first time, with the waxed thread.....but didn't like it at all in my truck.

So, I cut it off and used the white thread that matches the KR thread in the seats, and used the cross stitch this time.

 

...and you're entitled to that opinion.

...and never fail to go out of your way to go against the grain.

 

Thanks for posting that man... That is DEFINITELY how I want mine to look. Very nice work there!

 

Sure thing...

Thanks for the kudos. I think it's a nice upgrade; especially for those who didn't want to go down the LT ****er pathway.

I had pressed Eddie to make these several months ago. Whitecrystal1 actually convinced him to make them. All in all, I think they turned out very nice all the way across the board.

This mod isn't for everyone - no doubt. Everyone has opinions about how they want their truck to look but, for me, this is a nice little touch that makes a difference in look. In my opinion, it's these subtle touches that set certain trucks apart from the others.

 

Me to, I am going to try to stitch mine like that also.

 

looking good- nice stitching!
