Every body loves a good seat....and when you have a custom bike, not just ANY seat will do. I have been working with Ms. Tracy lately, she is one good "queen of the pull" and an awesome custom upholsterer she specializes in flames and flowers. You have to have tremendous upper body strength to stretch and pull these seats onto the forms and get them to look nice and snug.The trick with embroidery...to much thread and it eats up the material, to little thread and it is wimpy and it does not hold up well with the constant wear of getting off getting back on. When embroidering on this type of material I usually end up running a few test runs and pulling them to see how the design holds with pressure and then run the hair dryer to see how much it distorts with the heat. Lots of work for just a one of a kind item.
But I love the look and the challenge! This one says "I love my Rosa" in Spanish hopefully she loves it too!
this is really funky!!! i'm having a hard time with that word verification for some reason...i disabled it on my blog and just went with email moderation until they get that figured out!! if you want to explore different backgrounds, try pyzam.....they have lots of templates....it just seems like you might like some of them....and after you get set in your blogger ways, it's harder to change them out...
