From this time, it is the production of the epidermis of the seat.　It’s my first experience, so I’m not sure if it will work.

It is a fake leather seat.  I bought a large size for motorcycles on Amazon.

This fabric is thick enough and flexible.

Roughly cut the sheet according to the seat base.

Prepare a black string and double-sided tape.

Place the string on the thin cloth and sandwich it with double-sided tape.

It’s called a “piping code”.

Sew across the “piping cord”.　It took a long time.

I managed to take shape.　It took about 5 days.

Tight corners are cut into the “piping cord”.

The edge of the seat is sewn with 3 pieces of fabric.

I sewed it cleanly.

I added a sponge to the part where the thickness was not enough.

There is a diamond mark on the “Purple Rain” sheet, so reproduce it.　Place the sponge between the pieces of fabric and sew them together.

There is a wrinkle in the fabric, so I will fix it.

Sew the pinched part.

プリンスパープルレイン　バイク　prince purplerain　motorcycle

No more wrinkles.

The sheet of “Purple Rain” is reproduced because it has seams in the back.
