🤣 Am I having a trip!! I think these look better in an original VW bus with the added optional extra of dreamcatcher from the rear view mirror!!

It will be a bit of an experiment, I don't have a huge amount of experience with upholstery. i thought it might be an interesting way to cut my teeth...I'm sure mother will be over my shoulder telling me I'm doing it wrong!! I didn't exactly want to take the current upholstery apart more than I...
