Does it smell like dirty feet? Hah. Just kidding. Nice work. I went to buy a bikini for my JKSU Saturday and they are on back order. I guess I should have ordered it in the winter?

Could you please post some close-ups of how it's attached and a list of materials and where you bought them.

Its vinyl. It's not the.leathery kind tho, it looks more like rubber.
I bought it at Joanns fabric store, 2.25 yards for $24.50 out the door. Its normally $19.99 a.yard but it was on sale for $9.99 a yard
