Yeah it just always sketches me out being such a tight fit. All done now. Still some little imperfections but that's probably only because I'm looking really close and being fussy. A million times better than what was in there before though, and not bad for my first attempt at upholstery.

Yeah I watched some videos before attempting it, and that was what they said too.

I'd ordered fabric samples from a company a couple months back to make sure there was something close, and that one was pretty good :)

So going back to the sunglasses holder - what component of it is supposed to hold it shut, and what is the black lever looking piece at the top when it's open that can move from side to side?

I believe the black lever thing is part of the closing assembly - I think I'm missing a piece (obtained a broken one and want to figure out how it works)

Definitely missing a piece - oh well, I can kinda see how it works now, and I have the board and backing plate and all that lot, so as long as I can find a complete lid assembly for it then I'm all set :lol:

Yeah, I'll try. I'm just dreading the cutting part. That was a right pain last time, cutting all the little holes for the grab handles and such things.

Decided to do the main part outside so I didn't cover my house with aerosol glue
