Default Tractor Seat Cover Complete!

My dad asked me to make him a seat cover for his new Kubota tractor.. I made it for his Father's Day gift, although I just got it done over the weekend. Whoops!

Here are a couple pics-- He loved it!! He is a big fisherman, so the fishing lure fabric went over swimmingly *pun intended!*

The back is attached to the front with velcro under the arm rests, and there is elastic all across the bottom to keep it on the seat. On corner was a little loose, but that just proves it's handmade. This was my first time sewing with elastic. It was tricky, but I think I can get the hang of it.

Awwwww You did good. That ought to protect the plastic from cracking and splitting. Nice tractor by the way!

Looks great. Did you have a pattern? I have a Kubota and could use a cover for the seat.
