Winter project, I don't sew well, so this took me several nights of stitching for an hour here & there...felt nice to have the helm in my hand as winter is coming....there are a few different makers of the suede and the last one lasted 6 years before the color/leather faded out, this one is teak color. I'd recommend the pre-made holes, cause leather is not easy to poke through with a blunt needle.
