Pack-a-seat Backrest

hi all
I have a friend who had asked me to make one of these for his sho-bud seat, which I'm halfway through doing. It's taken me a bit of time due to health issues and other reasons, but he now says he doesn't want or need it.
I had hoped to make a lumber support type, only 8 inches or so high as thats what was requested, but i could now make it taller. I also hope to make the backrest adjustable in seat angle.
I have some crushed sky-blue velvet, that I bought to match his seat, but could finish it in black faux leather, or brown.
If anyone is interested i'll continue with the build. if not ill just skip it. Would be around £40 or so.
Let me know.

Jason - I would take a black faux leather version. What dimensions do you need?

Width of seat. How high you want the backrest to be. Hight of seat cushion.

Jason, this will cost you a lot of money, as due to the weight of Mr Bling's wallet( kept in back pocket, zipped in and locked with chains) you will have to re enforce the seat to take this substantial weight. ;) :lol:

Apologies to anyone interested, but I think I'll leave this for now. Have to go into hospital at the end of April, and I'm not sure I'll get it finished before then.
Thanks.
