Last Monday at our knitting group we were looking at some material other than yarn. Walt picked up a peice of leather to make seat for his motocycle. It is red and pretty.On the leather front this is known as a full hide. That means that it is the better part of a cow hide. picture to the left is Walt with his new acquisition.
Currently his bike has pleather seats that have seen better days.
He just had the bike painted and this leather is a nice match for it.
It had bee a long time since I actually appolstered something. The neat this about this project is that it is a collection of relatively small pillows. So it is a great deal easier than doing a couch.
This is the piece of leather stretched out on a table. I will keep you posted. Be safe out there.
