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.

Wow, excellent job! I wouldn't have even had the first clue to start with a project like this!

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.
