Whilst the lovely Mrs Shiney has the sewing machine out making new curtains for our living room I thought I would schmooz up to her to get her to do my airplane covers! Which material do you suggest is best for this job ? it doesn't necessarily have to be waterproof as the plane will be kept inside but needs to be lightweight and maybe a good idea would be with bit of lycra content so it stretches to a snug fit, any ideas? and for those who have made their own covers, any do's and don'ts


Thanks

Martin :)
