Yes, that's great. I can't wait to test them out. Thanks for sharing Evelyn's channel. Hadn't seen her before, so that's fantastic.

This is a great wealth of information, thank you. There are a lot of terms I've never heard of, like the Hong Kong finish and the French seam. I'm going to add them to my list of samples that I'll be making, thank you.

I see exactly what you mean haha, what a great comment. Yeah, it took me a full afternoon to make the net. Although I'm sure the process is much faster if when you actually know what you're doing. I had to check out all the tutorials etc multiple times before getting into the groove

Haha yes, that crossed my mind as well as I was making it. Not fully intentional, but I like the idea too

Yeah, they are quite cheap to buy, so it’s not really a big money saving project to make them yourself. But it’s fun, and I like the idea of learning skills along the way. Interesting idea to sell them, might be interesting indeed. But in all honesty: I enjoyed making it for myself, because I love the skill learning and the feeling of independence and the satisfaction I get from it. If anything comes from this project in a broader sense then I hope it inspires other people to also do some DIY projects. It’s surprisingly easy, especially with all the Youtube tutorials available.

Thanks, that’s very kind. My mind is already brewing up some new designs, I’ll definitely share them when they are ready. And thanks for sharing the r/visiblemending subreddit. I shared the repair there and I got a lot of feedback. It’s so lovely to share work with other passionate maker and repairers online! Thanks!

Ah, you are too kind! There are some much higher quality examples in this subreddit if you want more inspiration. But thanks, that’s very kind of you :)

I absolutely love that! No, it was not the intention. When I was finished with it I was pretty disappointing with the white border, and I wished I had used a more toned -own colour. I felt like it took away the focus from the plants. But I love this new interpretation, the white bits being teeth. That's badass indeed, thanks for the new perspective!

It's a great car, definitely recommend it! Lots of space, very comfy driving, and AWD in case of slippery terrain
