Ok I recently wrapped my fiance's 2002 Dodge Stratus sedan headliner in some pink suede material.....The material wasn't made to be long enough so I took some advice from a chic at the fabric store and ironed the pieces together.....Mistake!  Cause now in the middle it's not holding..........

Questions:

1.  I have a show we are going to this weekend......What do you think I could use as a quick fix to make the seam line stick together????

2. Do you know where I could find some more Pink suede that is a long roll? 

or

Do you know where I can find some fake gucci???

Seam lines: I would get a hold of 3m's 777 automotive headliner spray and use that for now. Spray both sides lightly and let flash. Then carefully match the seams to each other.

Pink Suede: I know where you can get some that is 55" wide right off the top of my head. If I do some digging in my books, I'm sure I can find another company with wider (I hope): www.yourautotrim.com use the search link and look for pink suede. It runs about $55 a yard. If 54" is wide enough for you, discount fabrics usa has a 54" azalea (close enough to pink for me) for only ~$20 a yard.

Gucci: Look to the Filipinos... If they are your typical family, someone will know something... that's all I can say ^-^;
