Suede door inserts

So, I just did my first set of door inserts.  Nothing too special I guess, just reupholstering the factory inserts.  However, this was kind of challenging being that the factory inserts are not removable, so I do credit myself a bit for that.

Anyway, first picture looks good right?  Well, in the second, the close up, you can see the folds that I had after coming off that concave.  I tried pulling it into an area that I knew would be cut out but I couldn't get rid of them.  On the next insert I was able to get all the slack material together and press the suede against itself to form triangle (?).  Anybody who has wrapped vinyl around a hard edge knows what I'm talking about.  Then I cut it just like you would the vinyl.  It looked ten times better.

I'm wondering though, is there a better way to do this other than sewing?

I never heard of microsuede.  Please tell more.

Thats what the door looked like before

Thats what the headliner looks like now.  Just did it today.

microsuede... stretchy as hell, jo-ann fabrics.

I did my door panel insrets with black suede also. the back doors were easy but the fronts were a pain because of the curve in front of the window controls. it took me 2 tries to wrap the front doors, and I only had a couple small wrinkles, plus the suede I used was not very stretchy. I used contact cement sprayed from a paint sprayer and I had no bleed through. I'm going to wrap the inserts in a different color just to give the door more pop.

BTW punkbastard, nice looking xB.

Yeah I tried doing the fronts doors on this car today and they gave me much more of a hassle than the rears.  Attempt number two will be tomorrow.  I found the stretchable microsuede at jo-anns as well.  Its nice because its stretchy but it doesnt have such a nice look to it because of the microfibers. 

The owner of this car actually works for me but I am doing an xb demo car for the company so he said he would let me practice on his doors and headliner.  I think for the demo car i'm gonna do black suede on the headliner and gray microsuede on the doors just to continue the BLACK/ gray look plus the car is gray.  Not to mention the contrast definitely makes it pop as outtaluck said I mean just look at the headliner above.

Hey outtaluck, what is that around the insert?  Blue pinstriping tape?
