MG TD TF 1500 - Leather shifter boot....

Anyone happen to have a photo of an original (or copy) leather shifter boot... have some leather and would like to make one.... Does it come out from under the carpet, or cover the carpet opening?

About 5" high,
No drawstring,
Stitched to carpet so that all cut edges are hidden.

Thanks matthew....

Saw a TD yesterday. Its was very thin, went up about that high but was quite small around? So it stiches to the outside of the carpet, rather then come from inside the opening of the carpet?

Maybe 11" around the base and fairly tight (they didn't waste any leather).
Basic seam stitch. Turn inside-out to do this, so the stitching is hidden, like the pleats in your seats.(This is not an overlap join).

Thanks Matt... i have tons of leather left over from the steering wheel cover (i bought a leather jacket at a "Value Village" (used clothing) and just took it all apart so at least the two will match.
