Finally decided to spend some time with my sewing machine.

Reupholstered my pontoon boat seats.

Not perfect but for my first ever sewing project. I’m happy

Figured I would get some practice before tackling the wagon interior this winter

Impressive work. I would have got one lined up, the next slightly crooked then given up and slapped the rest together as quickly as possible.

Good job! I wish I had one of those heavy duty sewing machines so I can fox my boat cover.

Had to build a whole new wood frame. The old frame was too far gone.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210705/e94a7b0413160e33c7ede42233eb1b5a.jpg
Got it all recovered and new speakers installed https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210705/ab3368c820486406ec4e7cbfa2b15410.jpg

Recently put those same Marine speakers in a small rigid inflatable for someone. Impressed with the sound for what they were.

That is a great job

I’m happy with it for my first upholstery attempt. I learned a lot for future attempts

I wish I had put the dark great in the middle of the swag cushion instead of at the back.

There are a couple of wiggly line in the stitching from the earliest attempts, Ive got my lines sorted out pretty well now

Looks great. If you want more practice I have a boat that could use work. Lol.

Time for some big league sewing. Starting the wagon upholstery this week. I will be recording the process and taking photos along the way. Hoping all goes well. [emoji1695]
