Sunvisors - Fabric Cover

The last of the interior upholstery left to do in the Vogue is Sunvisors. Back in October 2010 I stripped the old sunvisors back to their wire frames, derusted the frames, and rebuilt the core of the sunvisors using the non-crosslinked polyethylene foam from the battery packaging. So now, just over two years later, it's time to finish the job.

Laurel started by marking out the shape of a sunvisor on the back of the same fabric we used for the headliner. The more astute reader will notice that this is the second sunvisor (I didn't take pictures for the first one which you can just see on the right of the picture).

Then she marked a seam allowance and a cutting allowance.

Then pinned the two pieces of fabric together and cut it out.

Laurel used a 15 inch "invisible zip" along one side to make the job easier/possible. The final result (zip side):

The non-zip side. This is the side you will usually see.
