How long did it take you to do it all?

Just had to ask before someone else did.
Frig, I thought for a second that you were serious about the stain! I was about to run into the other room and check them all

It took me a weekend for the first seat because of all the practice runs and experimenting with the material and the sewing machine, and another weekend for the second seat because I had a mild disaster... basically I started using too much glue between the foam and material, which was causing the thread to break every time we tried to sew it. I ended up lubing up the needle with a bar of soap to make it work. But yeah, only put glue one one side only! Don't repeat my mistakes
I managed to do all the rear seats in about three days. The rear seat backs are relatively easy, but the rear seat bottom is a ***** because of all the dogs in it.
