Re: Reversible Bumper Update
So, this got me to thinking.. Wouldn't an easier design for 'reversible bumpers be as follows:
Secure a red layer to the top backside (not top) of the bumper plywood. This layer is just long enough to reach around the noodles to cover the bottom surface of the plywood.
Secure a blue layer to the bottom backside (not bottom) of the bumper. It too is just long enough to cover the top surfaces of the plywood.
Put velcro on the top and bottom of the plywood, and at the corresponding locations on the fabric.
To show red, you open both layers and wrap the blue layer first, then the red layer. Noodles are held in place with tape.
Avoids need to do complex seaming, having stitching across your numbers, etc.
