Tweed Sound enclosure fail - Updated with Final photo

I got this tolex with the idea to embroidery the design. But tolex isn't really fabric, it just gets cut up, not really stitched. So I am on the search for real fabric that looks like this.

I also got these cool miniature chicken head knobs from amplified parts. The standard chicken head knobs interfered with each other. I'll update when I finally get the fabric to work correctly.

I think the Tweed Sound board is awesome. Since I am playing amp-less, it really help sound more like I have an amp when used along with the UniCab (at least in my monitor, I have no idea what it sounds like in the house)

Sounds like this isn’t exactly what you were going for since you want to stitch a design but I thought I’d put it here for reference. This guy did a nice job working the tweed. Anyway, nice work and those knobs look great.

It looks like he had the actual coated tweed fabric rather than the tolex. We got some tips from people when looking for the fabric and give it another go.

I gave up on the embroidery. Getting the real olive-yellow tweed fabric was going to be too difficult and too much money for one enclosure.

I went with just using the POSCA pens on the tolex. I still think it came out great. I love those miniature chicken heads.

I think that turned out great! If you told me it was embroidered I wouldn't have questioned it.

I think that it looks awesome! I imagine the real tweed would've needed lacquering and would not hold up nearly as well as tolex on the floor. Also, Those baby chick knobs are really cool and have a super classy art deco vibe.
