Recovered my seat
« on: July 24, 2011, 12:30:02 PM »
I snagged some red thread and some vinyl then had my wife get her sewing machine hat on. I like how it turned out. Hard to tell, but the red thread matches really close to the red accents on my bike.

Here's a couple pics:

Let me be the first to say, sweet bike, and even sweeter seat!  Your wife helping is icing on that cake.

I like the way you put the strap back on.  I have thought about that.

Yep - I love that bike.  Simple, clean, cool.     I just scored a Pfaff industrial upholstery/sewing machine at a surplus sale for $25 bucks.
Gotta teach myself how to sew now.

Oh yeah....  Nice touch with the strap.  Never thought about or seen that before.

Threading the needle is not near as bad as getting that darn bobbin right!
