Armrest Pimping

Managed to find an armrest at the garage when the car was serviced today. Really skanky, but cheap.
So the recovering starts. Cheap alcantara. Not too bad for a first attempt.
May redo it in a thicker grade alcantara in time though

Definitely going to find a thicker alcantara, with a thin foam scrim on the back. But for now its does the job.

No. That's the knap of the material

Finished it quite late last night.
The faux alcantara isn't very stretchy, so was quite time consuming & it'll get redone when I find a suitable material.
