That is way cool. I've never even attempted the tolex and piping yet!

The piping is stupid easy to do. Line it up and staple away.
Tweed is a little harder than Tolex, you just have to make sure you get the stripes lined up right. With the small amount that I did here, it was just contact cement and lay it down. Very easy to do. You should give it a try! You might surprise yourself as to how easy it is. Just plan it out and take your time.
