I work this out to be cheaper than getting a company to do it for you, I found that one re-trimmed sunvisor was £25!!!!!!!
My weapon of choice, a Singer 748 (has a sticker saying 1300SPM!!!) this was a free machine from FREECYCLE - got to love it! (www.freecycle.org)
I cut some card from a Strongbow box - I'm an alkieholic! hehe! Good excuse to get another box maybe? The layers worked out as:
Foam > Card > Metal Frame > Card > Foam
I'm not hot on this sewing machine stuff, it was my first attempt since school, the top one is the second and the bottom one is the first.
Then I glued all my layers together with Industrial Spray Mount, and tried to work out how to get the layers into my material pouch?!
Little bit of a push and struggle I got them in....
