After trying this myself, I have HUGE respect for guys like Tracey. EVERYTHING he said is true. Knowing the materials, and having the right tools, and not to mention TECHNIQUE!!!!!
This is something that anyone can try and end up with good results, but it will take years of repetition to yield a great finished product. My design was super simple to make it easier for me to complete. I can't even imagine how long that interior in the picture would take a newbie, not to mention what it would look like in comparison to the finished product in that picture. That is not something a novice should attempt. You need to start simple.
This fall I am finally going to get to my trunk upholstery project, I will post up the results of that project.
