Default Afternoon Project, Pics

I decided to recover my shift knob, since the stock leather was trashed and if I screwed it up I could just buy a new one lol.
Stock knob before I started:

The $10 worth of stuff I bought to recover it:

Its not perfect, the stiching around the top is kinda bumpy as you can see. Also apologize for the poor quality pics, my camera is a POS. But I think it turned out alright. Lemme know what you guys think!!
