    My car needed a bit of a 'facelift', especially inside. My door material was all saggy and ugly looking so I decided to see if I could do it myself and save a ton of money. What do you think?

    What is the fabric?

    It's some nice fleece I found and liked the feel of at JoAnne fabrics. So far so good, no peeling so I'd say the adhesive I used it working fine.

    I went back and bought another 2 yards of this material b/c it was half price and so now I'm debating on making some little pillows for the back seat or a small throw? I don't think I have enough material for both.

    I got really crazy today and I used that same fabric and hand sewed a gear shifter cover. I'm digging it For some reason I find this kind of stuff fun. One big craft project I guess.

    This is the headliner out of my car. It is by far the largest 'custom' project I have ever attempted. I think it came out pretty decent despite some minor bobbles which were fixed with some strategically placed accent fabric and cord Tomorrow I hope to get it back in and put my poor naked car back together. It looks like an empty sardine can right now.

    I've seen this in person. As nice as this looks in the photo it looks even better up-close and personal. She did a great job with this! Very nice and funky, you can almost feel the texture of the fabric when looking at it
