Interior

As things were moving along quite nicely I thought it was time to start the interior. First I had to learn to sew !! (Don't tell anyone)

Looking more complete. (I paid someone else to do the logo embroidery.

Another thing I tried with a reasonable amount of success was Aplique. The rear fern was done with this. I was quite pleased with the results too.
