53. Bumper cover additional machining
52. Bumper bra making
I tried to make a full cover of the bumper (aiming for full bra). Copy the shape, cut the cloth, temporarily fasten it, adjustment, suture, think about the fixing method, and repeat trial and error. It was very difficult and took a lot of time.
I will consider adding fog lights.
Finally made it this far.
The opening of the combination lamp is also bordered with bias tape.
It fits the bumper.
The part where the headlight rim rides is also fixed on the back.
I threw away the other belt because It was able to pull the fabric in a balanced manner with one belt.
For strength, tie the fabric on the back side and cover the edges with bias tape.
Wrap the bottom edge of the lip with fabric, and fix it by hooking a J-shaped molding on the edge.
I opened the position of the combination lamp, installed the cover, and installed the number base.
Tension is applied to the top, bottom, left and right, and it stretches without wrinkles.
For the upper part, I hooked the molding to the edge of the opening, and for the lower part, I fixed the L-shaped stay to the bumper and hooked it.
I covered the edges of the fabric with bias tape. Then, to secure the fabric to the back of the bumper, I sewed J-shaped door moldings on the top and bottom.
Open the air intake part.
I was able to fully cover the bumper.
In order to apply tension to the fabric, I attached an adjustment belt to the side, attached a ring to an appropriate position on the bumper, and connected the hook.
Overlap and sew again for a nicer look and sturdiness.
Sew with a sewing machine.
Temporize the fabric again, attach it to the bumper and reconfirm the fit.
Readjust and cut the fabric to determine the suture line.
Put it inside out and put it on the bumper to check the shape and the position of the seams.
Temporarily fasten the fabric by hand sewing along the pre-drawn guidelines.
Cut out the seal sheet with a cutter plotter, stick it on the fabric, and use it as a guide to cut the fabric.
Take a picture of the fabric, import it into a computer, and convert it into data.
I forgot to take pictures along the way. I put a piece of cloth on the side of the bumper, cut it in consideration of how to divide it, and put a guide tape on it.
In this way, the J-type door molding is well caught in the edge.
First, cover the edge of the fabric with bias tape so that it can be hooked to the top edge of the bumper, and sew a J-shaped door molding onto it.
