Next up I'm tracing and cutting out the pieces, preparing to actually start the sewing process. Made some test pieces to figure out the proper seam to stitch the pieces together. It's a plain seam with top stitches.

The fabric has arrived! It's a high quality 70% wool fabric, made to be really durable.

Let's put on the new foam!

Adding some better wheels. These are made out of proper metal and rubber with ball bearings.
