DIY sunvisor trim

[cesario]

well now i figured since i did my roof lining, i should do my sunvisors to match, so once again here is a diy just incase you were thinkin of doin it
what i needed:
scalpel set
scissors
cardboard
pencil
material
chalk
sewing machine
coffee

now since it was early in the morning and i was waiting for my lining to dry, i opted for aus lancer branded coffee instead of beer

firstly trace an outline of the sunvisor in cardboard

once traced, cut it out

lay the cutout on the carboard on the fabric and leave about 2-3cm each side and cut it out (need to cut out 2 pieces

next pin the 2 pieces of fabric together

now lay the visor over the fabric and trace an outline using chalk

sew across the outline except leave from the 2 marked points un sewed

fit the visor in to make sure if fits properly

go around the corners and cut some small tabs in it so when you turn it inside out it doesnt clump

now fit the visor in, sew it up (i had to hand sew this section) and win

all and all this was an easy one, had to get my mum to teach me how to sew (sow?) which wasnt too bad, some cool mum and me time doin something fun together
didnt turn out too bad, and looks pretty smick in my car now

when i was talkin to my mum tryin to explain what i wanted done, pillow case came up a few times as an explination
but essentially its just like a closed pillow case
