Howdy folks!
I've been working on this resin seat for awhile. Somewhere along the line I realized this would need a "cloth" seat cover. My first thought was to print a fabric pattern and seat manufacturer logo on a piece of card stock then cut the shape of the seat out and use some canopy glue to tack it in place...

It was a failure of moderate proportions. I couldn't get a realistic fabric pattern, and a seat cover wraps around the edges, which paper cannot do. This approach would not work.
Next, I thought that perhaps I could use flocking material and once it was dry, apply gentle pressure and flatten it to the seat. Please don't laugh...

I ended up creating a driver's seat for a 70s shag van. Epic failure
Finally I decided to turn to Youtube for inspiration and in a video comment someone mentioned using fabric medical tape. A raid of our home first aid kit provided exactly what I was looking for.

The effect is close enough that I'm gonna roll with it.
Thanks for taking a look!
