James, you may become the CMP 'Seamstress' for Australia!

Seriously though we who are restoring these vehicles should pool whatever resources and expertise we can to make this happen - thanks to Mike's post we are seeing another great example the power of the internet and a special interest forum such as this to help many people.

I have done my own seat covers for years, and also have made tarps for various CMPs

Rob, perhaps you can share your approach including the do's and dont's...
