It is not too hard to learn to sew these materials. Best start with one of those black Singer machines and a bit of playing around with some scraps. That is how i started. The last thing i made was a full hood, sidescreens, wheel cover and running board battery cover for my 1928 Rolls-Royce tourer. Then a half hood for my Caterham Roadsport. I find it very rewarding doing upholstery work as it can be so nice when finished. You just need lots of practice and good eyes
