One of the things I love about building the roadster is learning new skills.

Decided to learn how to sew so I could attempt to knock up various bits of trim.
It's not quite hairdressing, but probably more than girly enough to warrant using an MX5 as the donor

They don't make them like this any more!

Had a bit of a play this evening with some vinyl leatherette stuff I had kicking about (don't ask!).
Didn't go too bad at all, managed flat-fell seams, french seams, and even a spot of welting
