Default In touch with my femine side....I sewed some covers.

Title should read "feminine" Had some black vinyl that was felt backed laying around and wanted to make some maintenance covers instead of using towels and whatnot. Mama bought me some end tubing or whatever it's called to finish the edges. I made a tank cover and a fender cover. Mama helped me use her sewing machine.....there are some mistakes, but overall they look pretty good. Mama said I should put a little elastic stuff up front to make it form fitting.

Are you practicing for "Project Runway"? LMAO
Sorry, couldnt resist.
Great idea, BTW, save some cash and serve the purpose.

I should've put fringe on it, if you look close you can see my stitch line going in a not so straight line!
