Sewing canvas

[Plushy]

My Father used to run Courtholds Hilton Fabrics up here in Ballarat and i am fairly sure he has one or two of the old singer industrial sewing machines stored some where at the farm he is also a pretty flash operator . I will see if he has a machine we can liberate for awhile as i will need to make seat covers and a sunshine roof cover for the F15A .

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...

I think the Australian seat squabs were different to the Canadian ones.

For the Aussies: € 100,00(one seat) = $A 163.55 which I think isn't bad value for the real thing (plus of course postage) but we need quite a few of them!
